You live on in the wind that wraps around me to remind me of the absence of your embrace You live on in her eyes, when she looks at me I see your face You live on in the moon that revives the light you shone in my night You live on in her smile, when she laughs at my jokes, your voice echoes in her throat You live on in our song that I play on Saturdays all day long You live on in her touch, when she wipes my tears away and assures me I'll see you again You live on.. When I'm with her, you're with us .Evy Michaels

Your memory feels like home to me. So whenever my mind wanders, it always finds it’s way back to you.Ranata Suzuki
3
…the sad part is, that I will probably end up loving you without you for much longer than I loved you when I knew you. Some people might find that strange. But the truth of it is that the amount of love you feel for someone and the impact they have on you as a person, is in no way relative to the amount of time you have known them.Ranata Suzuki
4
There is an ocean of silence between us… and I am drowning in it.Ranata Suzuki
5
I had someone once who made every day mean something. And now…. I am lost…. And nothing means anything anymore.Ranata Suzuki
6
It’s painful, loving someone from afar. Watching them — from the outside. The once familiar elements of their life reduced to nothing more than occasional mentions in conversations and faces changing in photographs….. They exist to you now as nothing more than living proof that something can still hurt you … with no contact at all.Ranata Suzuki
7
If you cannot hold me in your arms, then hold my memory in high regard. And if I cannot be in your life, then at least let me live in your heart.Ranata Suzuki
8
I miss that feeling of connection. Knowing he was out there somewhere thinking about me at the same time I was thinking about him.Ranata Suzuki
9
When you experience loss, people say you’ll move through the 5 stages of grief…. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance….. What they don’t tell you is that you’ll cycle through them all every day.Ranata Suzuki
10
The last time I felt alive — I was looking into your eyes. Breathing your air…. touching your skin…… Saying goodbye…. The last time I felt alive…. I was dying.Ranata Suzuki
11
He was both everything I could ever want… And nothing I could ever have…Ranata Suzuki
12
I think perhaps I will always hold a candle for you — even until it burns my hand. And when the light has long since gone …. I will be there in the darkness holding what remains, quite simply because I cannot let go.Ranata Suzuki
13
Though these words will never find you, I hope that you knew I was thinking of you today….. and that I was wishing you every happiness. Love Always, The girl you loved once.Ranata Suzuki
14
I have poured my heart out ….And now I am empty.Ranata Suzuki
15
The only place I ever felt at home was with you. There isn’t a place for me anywhere anymore… I’ve been evicted.Ranata Suzuki
16
I would have followed you to hell and back... if only you'd lead me back.Ranata Suzuki
17
I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.Ranata Suzuki
18
Every quote, every book, every film seemed to suggest that ‘one day’ someone would come into my life and love me with an intensity and a passion I had never experienced before. And to their credit they were right; It all came and went so fast it really did feel as if it were just ‘one day’....Ranata Suzuki
19
He looked at me like I was the stars when all I’d ever felt like was the dark nothingness between them.Ranata Suzuki
20
It’s the intricate details you miss the most. For me, it’s the soft lines around the eyes when he smiles… Or that look he gave me sometimes that I cannot begin to describe - but I would know it if I saw it again. It was the look that gave him away. I’d know that look anywhere… It used to be my everything.Ranata Suzuki
21
Like so many others my story begins with that same old line…. ‘So anyway, there was this guy….’ Until one day…. there wasn’t. And nothing was ever the same after that….Ranata Suzuki
22
Though life has fated that we never cross paths again, don’t ever feel alone. For we are parallel …. and I will always be by your side.Ranata Suzuki
23
Though it’s reasons to burn may vary... you are always the fuel of my fire.Ranata Suzuki
24
It’s difficult for me to imagine the rest of my life without you. But I suppose I don’t have to imagine it... I just have to live itRanata Suzuki
25
It’s times like this…. when it’s over a year later and I’m still crying over you that I want to turn to you and say: See…. This is why I asked you never to kiss me.Ranata Suzuki
26
My heart’s been empty since you left - but still I refuse to put up a vacancy sign. I’m just not ready for anybody else to move in yet.Ranata Suzuki
27
I write what I love. I will not stop — even when my hand hurts….…. because I cannot stop — even though my heart hurts….Ranata Suzuki
28
I’d never dreamed anybody could love me the way he did. And even when he proved it to me time and again — I still could hardly believe it was true.Ranata Suzuki
29
It’s funny how we say a person ‘made’ us when they actually broke us. Sort of like how I say ‘funny’... but I actually mean sad.Ranata Suzuki
30
How I wish I could undo it all … take it all back… All those years I spent unhappy with him …. when I should have been looking for you.Ranata Suzuki
31
In a way, it was the same as any normal break up. You took what was yours …. and I kept what I’d had from before we were together… You took my heart …. and I had nothing…Ranata Suzuki
32
They say “Follow your heart”….…. But I can’t follow you where you’re going…Ranata Suzuki
33
They say the truth hurts. And these words hurt more than any I have ever written. But they are the truth — The cold, hard, undeniable truth. Not letting go doesn’t keep him with you. It’s still over. He’s still gone.… And nothing will ever change that.Ranata Suzuki
34
Perhaps I was easier to shake off for you because you’re such a together person. I was just an extra layer on the outside… like a blanket you could shrug off and feel just the same…. except maybe a little colder…. But I was always a broken person that was haphazardly held together by little more than my own strength. And so you just seeped in the cracks and mingled with my insides until you became an inseparable part of me. And as painful as that is, it still kind of warms me to know I will always carry a part of you with me.Ranata Suzuki
35
It is the deepest of wrongs I am driven to write…. And losing you was one of them.Ranata Suzuki
36
Your smile and your laughter lit my whole world.Ranata Suzuki
37
I don’t think you ever really understood….…. All the love I had in the world went to you.Ranata Suzuki
38
How many times did we pass each other before we met? If only I’d known…. I would have searched for you endlessly. If only I’d found you before it was already too late.Ranata Suzuki
39
When I was with him suddenly I wasn’t this broken person anymore. I was just me. I was whole again. I was just a person — like everyone else.Ranata Suzuki
40
With you in my life I felt like I could conquer anything. It was as if I was on top of the world and even the stars themselves were just within my grasp. But without you …. even getting through the day is hard.Ranata Suzuki
41
I need to stop running back to you in my mind all the time.Ranata Suzuki
42
Our parting was like a stalemate…. Neither of us won. Yet both of us lost. And worse still … that unshakable feeling that nothing was ever really finished.Ranata Suzuki
43
Though I never really had you….… to me you will always be the one that got away.Ranata Suzuki
44
You’re everything to me. But at best, I’m just a memory to you.Ranata Suzuki
45
A kiss….….. is just a kiss…. Until it’s all you reminisce.( Then the memory becomes your most treasured possession.)Ranata Suzuki
46
You can miss places. You can miss people. Just know that what you’re really missing is the way things were. And even if you could go there again…. see them again…. you can’t go back. They’re not the same. You’re not the same. The loss of them changed you.Ranata Suzuki
47
If you’re searching for a quote that puts your feelings into words — you won’t find it. You can learn every language and read every word ever written — but you’ll never find what’s in your heart. How can you? He has it.Ranata Suzuki
48
I didn’t love you to seek revenge. I didn’t love you out of loneliness or unhappiness. I didn’t love you for any of the misguided reasons that time might convince you I did. I just loved you because you’re you.Ranata Suzuki
49
It hurts that I was just one page in the book of your life… But what hurts more is knowing you’ll revise that chapter someday….….. and you’ll erase me completely.Ranata Suzuki
50
I try to do something positive — I socialise more… But deep down I know the truth. An entire world of people can never replace the one that I’ve lost.Ranata Suzuki
51
It’s just never going to get any easier is it. It’s never going away, this missing you. It’s going to become a sadness I incorporate into myself — along with all the other sadnesses — and quietly carry around with me forever…Ranata Suzuki
52
For you are you, and I am I, and once we were we… but as long as I exist and so do you — know that I will always love you.Ranata Suzuki
53
I still think of you every day. But I’m trying not to let it hurt me with the same intensity that it used to.Ranata Suzuki
54
There’s only ever been one person I’ve looked at and thought…‘ I could quite easily spend the entire rest of my life with that man’. And sooner or later I need to accept that he’s spending it with somebody else.Ranata Suzuki
55
How do you love someone and just… walk away? Just like that. You just, go on as normal…. You get up, get dressed, go to work… How can you do that? How can you be okay with that?Ranata Suzuki
56
I forgive you All I had to offer you was sadness My eyes shed sadness My face speaks sadness My lips smile sadness My voice spews sadness My touch spreads sadness I forgive you for leaving, for I have become an infectious incurable virus threatening to destroy everything you are not Such a happy delicate thing she is, isn't she? She has no idea, does she? How long before you turn her into sadness..Evy Michaels
57
We were just two broken souls trying to fix one another... Somehow I ended up with a piece of you and you meEvy Michaels
58
I've had so much of you in such little time that I shouldn't be suffering from withdrawal!Ahmed Mostafa
59
Today is just another day of trying to get by without you.Ranata Suzuki
60
Nothing can resist a person who is nonresistant... When you overcome negative with positive...hate with love... Evil with good. You've turn a loss to a win... You have become profound.Val Uchendu
61
The only regret I have is that I couldn't teach you a lesson in humanity and humility. A mother should not depend on his son and that's the one mistake I committed.Adhish Mazumder
62
It's still ok to dream with a broken heart.Nikki Rowe
63
The ocean does not lose its splendor because it lost a few drops.Matshona Dhliwayo
64
These trembling hands no longer have the confidence it exuded a few years ago. Hope has been extinguished and uncertainty is what remains for the rest of my days now.Adhish Mazumder
65
When you mess up-fix it, when you fail-fall forward and learn, when you suffer loss-heal and always pay it forwardVal Uchendu
66
Culture is an identity and identity is a weapon which can work its way around strong foundations decaying them from the inside with the help of wrecking beliefs known as superstitions. However, every culture must have a superstition without which its uniqueness is lost.Adhish Mazumder
67
The greater the humiliation, the greater the accolades. The greater the opposition, the greater the triumph. The greater the pain, the greater the blessing. The greater the loss, the greater the gain. The greater the danger, the greater the glory.Matshona Dhliwayo
68
Following the death of his wife, Sam Johnson wrote to the Reverend Mr. Thomas Warton, "I have ever since seemed to myself broken off from mankind; a kind of solitary wanderer in the wilds of life, without any certain direction, or fixed point of view: a gloomy gazer on a world to which I have little relation." But my wife wasn't dead, merely absent.Mordecai Richler
69
A tree does not despair when a few of its leaves fall off because there is more room for greener ones to take their place.Matshona Dhliwayo

Everyone keeps telling me that time heals all wounds, but no one can tell me what I’m supposed to do right now. Right now I can’t sleep. It’s right now that I can’t eat. Right now I still hear his voice and sense his presence even though I know he’s not here. Right now all I seem to do is cry. I know all about time and wounds healing, but even if I had all the time in the world, I still don’t know what to do with all this hurt right now.Nina Guilbeau

Loss invites reflection and reformulating and a change of strategies. Loss hurts and bleeds and aches. Loss is always ready to call out your name in the night. Loss follows you home and taunts you at the breakfast table, follows you to work in the morning. You have to make accommodations and broker deals to soften the rabbit punches that loss brings to your daily life. You have to take the word "loser" and add it to your resume and walk around with it on your name tag as it hand-feeds you your own shit in dosages too large for even great beasts to swallow. The word "loser" follows you, bird-dogs you, sniffs you out of whatever fields you hide in because you have to face things clearly and you cannot turn away from what is true. .Pat Conroy
72
You'd be surprised how little voice you have when you lose everything.Alexandra Bracken
73
The journey across the landscape of loss to the inner self takes courage and persistence. It is a risky venture, with lots of false trails and humanising errors. It requires gentleness to know your limits, yet willingness to apply pressure in the direction of growth. It is a journey that is not cost-free, nor is it ever finished. But, especially in the pitch darkness, it is a journey on which there is always hope.Dr Brian Babington

...I’m tired of everyone looking at me with pity in their eyes. I’m tired of feeling like my heart is being ripped out of my chest every damned day. I’m tired of waking up in the morning, and then remembering...A.B. Shepherd
