For a moment amongst the crowd, I saw you. I've since found out it's common for people separated from someone they love to keep seeing that loved one amongst strangers; something to do with recognition units in our brain being too heated and too easily triggered. This cruel trick of the mind lasted only a few moments, but was long enough to feel with physical force how much I needed you. Rosamund Lupton
About This Quote

To say that the pain of missing someone was felt physically is an understatement. I knew in my heart that I would never be happy without you. However, I was terrified to make you feel bad for me by telling you how much I cared about you. To this day, there are times when I see something that reminds me of you and my heart stops. Because in spite of the fact that you are in my past, in my mind there is no place I would rather be than with you.
