About This Quote

When someone is in your life, they are always around. When you are with them, you can’t stop looking at them. When they are not there, their absence is felt. It is hard to go on in life when that person is missing.

You have thoughts about them that you don’t want to remember. Your heart does not know if it will be happy or sad when it sees them, because they are just so different from how they were before. You cannot help but think about them when you are alone.
