"So maybe things between us were too good, ya know? Maybe we reached the point where things couldn't get any better, so they just had to get worse, and maybe that's why you left me for her. Maybe things between you guys were always rocky, and maybe you liked it like that. Or maybe, maybe I just wasn't enough." - JoAnne Golden
"That night didn't mean anything to you. You're still with her. And it's never going to change. You love her, and I knew you did, yet I still surrendered myself to your embrace. Devouring every word you said and believing you still loved me, and you regretted being with her. But, it's not true, because things haven't changed like you promised. It didn't go from her to me. You stayed with her, and even though you'll never admit it, you want to. I'm not even an obstacle. You've broken every promise you've ever made me, so why did I think this time would be any different? Well, I'll do you a favor: I'll let you go so you can be with her. Don't even worry about me. I was just good for that one night." - Joanne Golden

�So am I excited? No. More like terrified. For the first time in my life I�m taking a chance. I�m going the hard route, because I can. I know I can. And I�m scared not because I�m moving away from the only life I�ve ever known� but because I�m going it alone.� � JoAnne Golden

�I know you may fall in love while you�re out there. I�m well aware of this. She�ll be great. She�ll do all the things I never had an interest in. She�ll hate all the things that you hated about me. She�ll be perfect. Just don�t ever tell me about her, okay? Let me down gently yet cold� make me not want to talk to you again. Because I can barely handle not being with you, and I don�t know what it would do to me if I knew you loved another.� � JoAnne Golden
