"'Every time someone asks me that question, Sharon, I say, ‘I'm fine, thank you,' but to be honest, I'm not. Do people really want to know how you feel when they ask how are you? Or are they just trying to be polite?' Holly smiled. "The next time the woman across the road from my house says to me, ‘how are you?' I'm going to say to her, ‘well, actually, I'm not very well at all, thank you. I'm feeling a bit depressed and lonely. Pissed off at the world. Envious of you and your perfect little family but not particularly envious of your husband for having to live with you.' and then I'll tell her about how I started a new job and met lots of new people and how I'm trying hard to pick myself up but that I'm now at a loss about what else to do. Then I'll tell her how it pisses me off when everyone says time is a healer when at the same time they also say absence makes the heart grow fonder, which really confuses me because that means that the longer he's gone the more I want him. I'll tell her that nothing is healing at all and that every morning I wake up in my empty bed it feels like salt is being rubbed into those unhealing wounds.' Holly took a deep breath. ‘and then I'll tell her about how much I miss my husband and about how worthless my life seems without him. How uninterested I am in getting on with things without him, and I'll explain how I feel like I'm just waiting for my world to end so that I can join him. She'll probably just say, ‘oh that's good,' like she always does, kiss her husband good-bye, hop into her car, and drop her kids at school, go to work, make the dinner and eat the dinner, and go to bed with her husband and she'll have it all done while I'm still trying to decide what color shirt to wear to work. What do you think?'” - PS, I LOVE YOU by Cecilia Ahern
"Later, when they all ask her what happened, she'll lie. She'll say she never loved him, that it was all a ruse, a two-week crush that never got past scribbling his name on the back of her physics book. But she always mixes a little truth into it. She exists outside of love, in all of the space that those four tiny letters can't fill, where the people you can't live without are the ones who'll save you or kill you or both.”
"the harder she tried to forget him, the more she remembered him, the more she tried to hate him, the more she wanted him to look at her with those eyes of his, and smile that smile of his that never failed to stop her breath.”
"'I thought I could live my life without you,‘ she says, trying desperately to hold back her tears. 'I can't. I've tried and I can't do it.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"And one for one desperate moment there, he crept back in her memory, God it's so painful when something that's so close, is still so far out of reach." - Tom Petty, "American Girl”
"She missed him. Not enough to want him back. She missed him just enough for it to hurt."
"It's not like she's forgotten about him. She's just dealing with the pain...and the crazy thing about it is: she'd take him back, but the fool in him that walked out is the fool who just won't ask."
"You say that you don't need him, but I can see it in your eyes that you want him, I know in your mind that you need him and I can tell by the look on your face that you still care. I know that somewhere in your heart you wish he were there."
"I see the tears and her heart break. I watch her as the news sinks in. She's been hurt past remission. Pained past healing. And he's gone. Not the man he once was. Never to be again. And she loves him still. So slowly she smiles and wipes away the tears that fall say's it's all okay. He's gone now, so far away. Will she ever hold him again? Will he ever be hers once more? It doesn't matter. She loves him still." - Jackie
"She missed him the days when some pretext served to take him away from her, just as one misses the sun on a cloudy day without having thought much about the sun when it was shining." - The Awakening
