He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and Sunday rest, My noon,
my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that
love would last forever: I was wrong.
?W. H. Auden
I don't wish to imply that there aren't good
things about you or that you're not
an extraordinary person but I'd rather
let other people enjoy the surprise
?George Tsargas
"now that it's over"
But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment,
in which each feels that the other is
feeling something, having once existed,
its effect is not to be done away with.
?George Eliot
Had we never loved so kindly,
Had we never loved so blindly,
Never met - or never parted,
We had never been broken-hearted.
?Robert Burns
"Ae Fond Kiss"
However often marriage is dissolved,
it remains indissoluble. Real divorce,
the divorce of heart and nerve and fiber,
does not exist, since there
is no divorce from memory.
?Virgilia Peterson
In secret we met -
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee? -
With silence and tears.
?George Gordon, Lord Byron
"When We Two Parted"
'Tis better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all.
?Samuel Butler
If you said good-bye to me tonight,
There would still be music left to write.
?Billy Joel
"The Longest Time"
A divorce is like an amputation;
you survive, but there's less of you.
?Margaret Atwood
After all my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished;
Need we say it was not love, just because it perished?
?Edna St. Vincent Millay
I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than
indifference because it was the other side of love.
?J. August Strindberg
Little drops of rain
Whisper of the pain
Tears of love
Lost in the days gone by.
?Robert Plant
"Thank You"
