I'll understand if you don't want me. But I will be heartbroken. You are all I ever dreamed of and hoped for. You are much, much more. Please know that I didn't think I was mean-minded. But I realize I am. I don't want you to put your arms around me and say it's all right, that you forgive me. I want you to be sure that you do, and my love for you will last as long as I live. I can see no lightness, no humour, no joke to make. I just hope that we will be able to go back to when we had laughter, and the world was coloured, not black and white and grey. I am so sorry for hurting you. I could inflict all kinds of pain on myself, but it would not take back any I gave to you. - David Power. Maeve Binchy
About This Quote

This quote is the perfect answer to the question of what it means to be in a relationship. It answers with a lot of love and understanding. "To be heartbroken" is a very difficult term to explain, but it can be explained in such a way that makes you understand why this guy wrote the letter. This is because he does not blame his girlfriend for him breaking up with her.

He is not blaming her for him breaking up with her, rather he blames himself for hurting her in a way that he did not want to hurt her. The thing is, in a relationship, if your partner breaks up with you, they may have done so for reasons they were going through at the time or they may have broken up with you for no reason at all. Either way, when you break up with them, it can be quite hard to accept that your partner no longer wants to be with you and it can be quite hard when they do not say anything about their breakup.

In this situation, when someone writes a letter about how hard it was when their partner broke up with them and how much they loved them and how much they hated hurting them, it makes the letter a lot more touching and heartfelt.
