In every friendship hearts grow and entwine themselves together, so that the two hearts seem to make only one heart with only a common thought. That is why separation is so painful; it is not so much two hearts separating, but one being torn asunder.

Fulton J. Sheen
About This Quote

When you are apart from the person you love, you feel like your heart is shattered into pieces. When you are apart, you feel like your heart is torn apart. You find it hard to see your loved one because your heart is not whole; it is splintered. It’s like when you try to put a broken leg back together, but instead ends up splintering even more.

To make matters worse, you can’t stand the thought of being apart for even a second. You can’t bear the thought of not being together for more than a couple of hours. When you are apart from the one you love, it doesn’t matter how hard it gets, but what matters is that one day soon enough, your heart will be made whole again and your life will return to normalcy.
