"I've never been as confident of anything in my entire life as I am about 'us,' and well, frankly, that makes me a little scared." - Joanne Golden
"I got to have you for one night. somehow I should be content with that, but I'm not. She gets to spend the rest of her life with you, and I got a few hours. Where is the fairness in that?" - Joanne Golden
"It's like something inside me triggers at everything I see, hear, and even taste, and I can't help but think that we're not really over, and that there's still some part of you that loves me -- some part of you that wants to come back to me." - JoAnne Golden
"I try to move on with my life, yet every part of me surrenders at the mention of his name." - JoAnne Golden
"It's nights like these, when I find myself calling out your name before I fall asleep, that I know that regardless of how hard I've tried to forget you, I just can't." - JoAnne Golden
"People always ask me about us. It hurts to tell them, and when I do, they're startled. After I tell them, they end up saying things such as, 'I don't see how you guys can be over, you were perfect together!' then, right when I thought it didn't matter to me anymore, all these feelings pour back into my heart, and the pain I once went through I'm suddenly experiencing all over again." - Joanne Golden
"There was a part of me, for the longest time, that just couldn't accept that you were gone. I guess I convinced myself we were invincible. I failed to see the signs, and even when they were right in front of me, I couldn't bring myself to believe my eyes." - JoAnne Golden
"There was a sort-of mystery about you. I knew it since the moment I met you. Some sort-of passion hidden deep within your eyes, and for the longest time, I thought I could find it again, but I give up. I'll never love anyone the way I loved you." - Joanne Golden
"I honestly thought I was ready to let go. I never believed in something so much before, but I was wrong. I wasn't near beings ready to let go of you. I can't let go of someone who was such an important part of my life." - Joanne Golden
"I said I was over him. Funny how no one believed me." - Joanne Golden
"i convinced myself he was the best i could do. Regardless of how horrible he was to me, he was the guy i was meant to spend the rest of my life with." - joanne golden
"So you're gone, and I know you had me promise I wouldn't cry, and I'm sorry. I know you're never coming back and I may never see you again, and well, it hurts. It hurts beyond imagination, and I thought I could handle it, but I can't. I want to reach out and touch you -- kiss you -- but you're not there. I would have given anything to tell you I love you one last time, but it wouldn't have changed anything. I despise fate." - Joanne Golden
"So maybe the fight wasn't completely YOUR fault like I said it was. Maybe I was just too self-righteous to admit I was wrong, and you were right. I couldn't handle it. So instead of swallowing my pride, I lashed out and pushed away the most important person in my life." - JoAnne Golden
"I don't know if it makes any difference now, but I'll never know unless I try. so I just want to say I'm truly sorry, and if it helps any, you were right." - JoAnne Golden

"I don't know, for a while, I had this tiny smidge of hope that one day we'd be together again. But, last night, when we talked, I knew. I just knew you were in love with her. The kind of love that stays forever, and now all I'm left with is a broken heart and shattered hopes and dreams." - Joanne Golden
"Sometimes I wonder if I just faked our entire relationship, if he ever really did love me, or if I ever really did know the feeling of how it felt to be loved and to love. maybe I just made the whole relationship out to be more than it was, because he's with her now. He's been with her for four months, and my dreams and hopes of love are suddenly shattered, because I now know that when I call out his name at night, he's calling out hers. there's nothing in the world that hurts more than knowing the only man I've ever loved is out there loving someone else." - JoAnne Golden
"He killed a part of me that I thought was impossible for anyone to get to -- a place in my heart I never thought I'd surrender, but I gave in. I weakened myself with one stare into his eyes. Those eyes that used to only look at me, are now looking at her, and I lost the only bit of heart I had left. Now, I can truly say I've lost everything." - JoAnne Golden
"So kiss me, my sweet, and let us part, and when I grow too old to dream, that kiss will still live in my heart." - joanne golden
"I sat there staring at you staring at me, and the only thing I could think of was how much I never wanted this feeling to go away." - Joanne Golden

"if I've learned anything this past year, it's that love holds some sort-of healing power. This year has been a living nightmare, but you were always there for me. you managed to bring a sm"previously I always had this assurance I could get him back whenever things got tough, now I know I can't. It's like a rude awakening from the dream world I was living in, and someone's nudging me saying I'm not in Kansas anymore." - JoAnne Golden
"He made me feel like I was special -- like I actually had a place in his heart (a place I could always turn to for comfort). Now that place has been bordered up, and I haven't been able to get back in there when I need it the most." - JoAnne Golden
"So maybe I was a bit unrealistic. Maybe it's that alone that broke my heart -- the idea that I'd meet a guy, fall in love, and he'd always be there. I failed to imagine, that one day, he'd just leave." - JoAnne Golden
"You said, 'You know what your problem is?' I replied, 'Yes, I do. I fell in love with the idea that no matter what happened you would always be there.' 'When haven't I?,' you asked, and as a tear trickled down my cheek, I said, 'Ever since she walked through that door.'" - JoAnne Golden
"I've been hurt before, and it took me a while to gather up the courage to love someone again. I never even thought it'd be possible, and then you came along. You had me put all of my trust and love in you -- and then you broke me. But, I know I'll recover. I know it won't be today, tomorrow, or a couple of months from now, but it will happen, and I will love again. maybe, just maybe, I won't get hurt the next time around." - Joanne Golden
"I wish you would just open your eyes and see what you're losing. I mean it's 'me' -- the person you felt you could 'stay with forever.' of course I wonder what happened to us. What person wouldn't? I just wonder if you even think about making it better. We both screwed up -- a lot. I just want you to know that I'm sorry, and I hope I've made up for all the times I've ever hurt you. But I can't forgive you for what you did. You didn't even make an attempt on making it better. You just let me go." - JoAnne Golden
"For the longest time I convinced myself I was never in love with you. I told myself over and over again that you can't love someone who lies to you, but I fell in love with that lie. Sometimes I begin to doubt if it ever was a lie. Sometimes I start to think that maybe you were trying to be nice about the whole thing by trying to save me from the truth with lies and bittersweet promises to hide the fact that you didn't love me." - JoAnne Golden
"I've decided you're not worth it. I won't shed another tear over you. Why on earth would I cry over someone who could care less about me? That only makes me seem pathetic, and I'm not. I never was. I was only in love with someone who didn't have the capability of loving me back." - Joanne Golden
"I know now it was all just a dream, but it felt so real..." - Joanne Golden
"I just want to let you know that I'll never forget that night. For once in my life, everything was perfect. The way we danced, how you held me close, the song -- everything. The memory will forever live in my heart, and even though I know it was all just a lie, I'll never forget the way you made me feel. somewhere inside I'm content knowing that, even if it was just for one night, I was happy." - Joanne Golden
"We kept going back to each other as if it would work out better the next time around. I think I got used to knowing that regardless of what happened, we would always be there for each other. If we broke up, there would be nothing that would stop us from being back together, but this time there was." - JoAnne Golden
"You think you can just walk back into my life now that you guys are through? No. I don't think so. I've moved on." - Joanne Golden

"i thought if i told you everything about me it would make you love me more, but it only made you leave." - joanne golden
"I sat there and stared at you. I just couldn't understand how such an amazing person could be in my life, and then all of a sudden I got extremely scared. You kissed me and told me not to worry; there was no way you'd ever leave me. I felt a sense of comfort. I believed you. That is until you left." - Joanne Golden
"You're leaving. You're finally walking out that door, and it hurts because there's nothing I can do to change your mind." - Joanne Golden
"Love is the only true thing in life. When you tell someone you love them, and you mean it, you give them a part of you no one else can receive -- A part of you that is more precious than anything in the world. You give them your heart, and what they do with it is their choice entirely, and that's scary, especially when your heart is as clueless as you are." - Joanne Golden
"Once your world has been torn apart, you don't just stop believing in fairy tales -- you stop believing in love." - JoAnne Golden
"You know what I think hurts the most? The feeling of being replaced. It's like no matter what you did, it wasn't enough, and regardless of what you do to try and capture their heart again, it doesn't seem to work. you're suddenly left thinking that you'll never be enough, and a sudden sadness captures your heart that never really leaves." - Joanne Golden
"I refused to let her have you. I tried everything in my power to get you back in my arms, but it just wasn't enough to pull you away from hers." - JoAnne Golden
"I thought that I could reach out to him. Like, maybe, in some way, he could hear what I was thinking. But he just turned away, and he kissed her, and I've never been more hurt in my life." - Joanne Golden
"You knew you loved me the minute you laid eyes on me. that's what terrifies you so much, because now you're walking down that aisle with someone who doesn't even compare to who I am, whose relationship with you doesn't even compare to what we were -- someone who you don't love. You can try to convince yourself you guys belong together, but I seen it in your eyes that night. I seen it in your eyes every night we were together, and I know you couldn't possibly have that with anyone else. Call me a dreamer, but I don't care, because I know the truth. You don't love her the way you loved me." - JoAnne Golden
