He'd stopped trying to bring her back. She only came back when she felt like it anyway, in dreams and lies and broken-down déjà vu.

About This Quote

When a person who has truly loved you loses you, there is no better feeling than to see them again. They may not be able to focus well or to keep up with their responsibilities, but it is their way of saying they are sorry and that they want to love you again. It is hard, though. The reason people have trouble getting over the death of a loved one is that the person who has broken your heart may not mean to do it.

And, even if they do mean it, they will break your heart again. They may not show it but you can see it in the way they treat you. When a person who has truly loved you dies, it is your heart that breaks first.

The pain of this loss can be so severe that you simply do not want to be around anyone else. However, if you say no to love then eventually there will be someone else who will come along and make you feel like your old self again which means that the one who loves you cannot take no for an answer.
