Some ghost of myself still lived back in the days when we'd shared a bed and talked of the future. But that love we'd had and those selves we'd been were gone, placed in a box like old photographs and letters you'd never read again.

About This Quote

The meaning of this quote is that not all your past relationships will be able to survive your new marriage. You will never be the same again and you may not even recognize yourself in the person that you are today. The most important part of your relationship is the love you shared with your partner and the love for your children. But, you cannot change who you were in the past or what you did to make a marriage or a family possible so it is best not to look back and regret what could not be changed.
