5
Your memory feels like home to me. So whenever my mind wanders, it always finds it’s way back to you.Ranata Suzuki
6
I believe in love at first sight… But it’s not the first moment you lay eyes on a person, it’s the moment you first seethe person they truly are.Ranata Suzuki
7
…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
8
There is an ocean of silence between us… and I am drowning in it.Ranata Suzuki
9
I had someone once who made every day mean something. And now…. I am lost…. And nothing means anything anymore.Ranata Suzuki
10
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
11
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
12
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
13
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
14
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
15
He was both everything I could ever want… And nothing I could ever have…Ranata Suzuki
16
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
17
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
18
I have poured my heart out ….And now I am empty.Ranata Suzuki
19
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
20
Love is God’s medicine.” ~ Amunhotep El BeyAmunhotep El Bey
21
I would have followed you to hell and back... if only you'd lead me back.Ranata Suzuki
22
I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.Ranata Suzuki
23
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
24
He looked at me like I was the stars when all I’d ever felt like was the dark nothingness between them.Ranata Suzuki
25
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
26
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
27
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
28
Though it’s reasons to burn may vary... you are always the fuel of my fire.Ranata Suzuki
29
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
30
I believe in love at first sight… But it’s not the first moment you lay eyes on a person, it’s the moment you first see the person they truly are.Ranata Suzuki
31
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
32
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
33
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
34
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
35
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
36
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
37
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
38
I still remember that feeling of walking somewhere confidently, seeing him mid stride and putting my foot down just fine… but feeling like I stumbled.Ranata Suzuki
39
They say “Follow your heart”….…. But I can’t follow you where you’re going…Ranata Suzuki
40
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
41
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
42
When we’re young, we think that Love and Hate live on opposite sides of the street from one another; But as we get older we realise they’re actually next door neighbours with paper thin walls.Ranata Suzuki
43
It is the deepest of wrongs I am driven to write…. And losing you was one of them.Ranata Suzuki
44
Your smile and your laughter lit my whole world.Ranata Suzuki
45
I don’t think you ever really understood….…. All the love I had in the world went to you.Ranata Suzuki
46
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
47
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
48
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
49
I need to stop running back to you in my mind all the time.Ranata Suzuki
50
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
51
Though I never really had you….… to me you will always be the one that got away.Ranata Suzuki
52
You’re everything to me. But at best, I’m just a memory to you.Ranata Suzuki
53
A kiss….….. is just a kiss…. Until it’s all you reminisce.( Then the memory becomes your most treasured possession.)Ranata Suzuki
54
I know he wasn’t perfect… But he did the best impression of it I’ve ever seen.Ranata Suzuki
55
A woman is at heart — a wild creature. But the creature itself … that depends on you. (His wild rabbit — your wild horse)Ranata Suzuki
56
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
57
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
58
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
59
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
60
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
61
I had always wanted to hear those words. I had always wanted to be your girl.Ranata Suzuki
62
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
63
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
64
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
65
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
66
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
67
You loved him enough to let him leave… Now you need to love yourself enough to let him go.Ranata Suzuki
68
A closed fist cannot give. How can one give when the fist is closed? Yet, most people approach relationships with a closed heart. How can one give love when the heart is closed?Val Uchendu
69
A fulfilling long-term relationship is not accomplished by just finding the one. It is rather a co-operation between two passionate and highly motivated partners working together, figuring out every single situation holding hands. If there is trust at the root of the relationship, if the partners make an effort to keep it interesting, if difficulties are handled tactfully and if you can appreciate every single deed of your partner no matter how insignificant it is, the flames of love would never burn out and your love can truly live happily ever after.Abhijit Naskar

The finest clothes anyone can wear are a kind heart and a loving soul.Matshona Dhliwayo
76
The universal laws of nature including the thermodynamic principles of entropy govern the relationships between interconnected organisms. The notion of internal thermodynamic equilibrium assure us that the powerful energy reserves of one person will always rush in to fill the void or vacuum in another person. Thus I will always register your mystical presence in my quiescent mind, your hallow echo fills the hollow space of my very being. You are the external reflection of my innermost want, the personification of a world that lies outside my conscious reach, ethereal substance of the soul, the guiding hand that my unconscious mind instinctually gropes for in order to make me complete. .Kilroy J. Oldster
77
Love that hurts is better than hate that tickles.Matshona Dhliwayo
