"'And then one day I just woke up and said to myself, I can spend the rest of my life mourning his loss or I can get on with my life. Which is what I did.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"She'd managed to do the one thing I could never do -- she'd moved on." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I've never understood why people insist on saying things like, 'there's plenty of other finish in the sea.' My mum actually said that to me, you know, after I was dumped by the person formerly known as 'my boyfriend.' There's me crying my heart out and all she was offering me by way of consolation was a fish metaphor.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'Between grief and nothing, which would you choose?'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'Yeah we had some good times,' I said, quickly flicking through some of them in my head. 'But at the end of the day what have I got? Nothing but memories. I'm twenty-six and I constantly live in the past. I've been without Aggi longer than I was with her and I still can't get over her. Ignorance, compared to this, would be bliss.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'sometimes I'm so boring even I stop listening.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'It's too expensive, it's grimy, it's dirty and it's unfriendly. It reminds me of him.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'he was just a guy. Just a guy who thought he meant the world to me and was right. But between grief and nothing, I'd take grief.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"While, all around, my peers indulged in one-night stands, two-timing antics and three-in-a-bed scandals, I was too busy to join in because I was searching for the Other One." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I felt completely and utterly guilty for things I knew for a fact had nothing to do with me. Hiroshima. That was my fault. The sinking of the Titanic. That was me too. Han solo getting stuck in carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back. Blame me for that one. Princess Leia." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"At the end of the day, dealing with your own anguish is easy enough compared to dealing with the pain you've caused." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"Sometimes I felt like I was the only person in the world who could say 'This is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you' and really mean it." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"It hurt to think that all the time I'd been under the illusion she felt the same about me as I did about her -- and now I didn't know what to believe in." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I was twelve years old before I realized people were supposed to see the world clearly." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"is love really love if only one of you believes in it?" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'this is your last chance babe. I'm walking out that door now and I ain't ever coming back.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"There were a lot of people out there (and I do mean 'out there') who were in a far worse state than I'd ever be." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I think that love's more complicated than we think it is. Sometimes you fall in love with someone that's just no good for you. It's not your fault and in a way it's not their fault either --it just is. And I think that's what happened here." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I think the right person's out there for everyone, but you can only see them if you want to see them.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I'd like the kind of love that lasts forever. It doesn't matter if it's plain, it doesn't matter if it's ugly. It just has to be there.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'You know me. I've never regretted anything,' she said, 'and don't think for a minute that I regret ending our relationship. I don't. we were dead. Going nowhere. But if could have my time again I would have never done that to you. You don't need to tell me that you loved me. I always knew it." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I think that your ex has confused you so much that you don't know whether you're coming or going. Sometimes when you're the partner that has been left, you find it hard to get on with life. You ask yourself the question, 'why aren't they hurting as much as I am?' It's not unusual for people in this situation to see hope in the relationship when there is none.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I realized I was falling in love and I didn't like it. I've only got to look at you to see what love can do. It's such a crap, pointless emotion. All that intensity, all that demanding, no one could voluntarily want to be in that sort of condition.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I'm fed up with all the what-ifs life throws up.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I'm fed up with waiting for life to happen before I can have a life. If I don't do this one thing the way I want to do it, then I really will be a failure. She's everything I've ever wanted. I can't let go.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'when I picked up the phone I realized that out of the billions of people on the planet, you were the one I wanted to speak to the most. It was like the deepest part of me took control and said what it felt, unafraid of embarrassment or rejection or any of that other stuff that normally leaves me paralyzed with fear. I didn't think. I just was.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'Splitting up shouldn't be amicable. Not if what you had was love. It's not the way love works; well, at least not the kind of love I'm talking about.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'everything about love is random,' said Kate calmly.' So why try and bring order to it? It's not worth worrying about. I know we could just move in together and that would make everything much easier, but it works both ways. It's easier to walk out, it's easier to be unfaithful, it's easier for everything to just disappear. If I'm going to invest my emotions in another human being again, then I'm going to make sure if it doesn't work out it'll be the messiest, most savage divorce ever.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"You've changed my life, Kate, you've changed my life more than anyone I've ever met. I need you. I know it sounds melodramatic but it's true.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I wasn't going to take life lying down anymore. Nothing was going to stop me from doing all the things I talked about doing but always found an excuse for never bringing to fruition. For the last three years I'd been living in a state of limbo. I'd been going to the same places, hanging out with the same people, listening to the same music." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I had even purposely chosen relationships that I knew would have a limited shelf life because I wanted to be able to dump them at the drop of a hat." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I never wanted any of them. I just didn't want to be alone. I was a user." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I had to stop my head from taking over my life and learn to take things one day at a time." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I'm embarrassed to say, I often indulged myself in a little fantasy, believing myself to be a tortured poet rather than just a sad jerk with took much time on his hands." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"it's easy to feel that everyday love isn't like the love in the movies because successions of the mind-numbingly dismal, modern romantic comedies -- stand up French kiss, sleepless in Seattle, and while you were sleeping -- have succeeded in turning everything that's wonderful about love into cheese. People are too literal about love now and it's all because, thanks to these films, there's little space left for symbolism in real life." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I woke up this morning and knew that I loved you more than ever. Sometimes I get scared that this feeling will slip away into something less than the wonderfulness it is now. So I've got a plan. Let's capture how we feel right now and keep it forever.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'in my opinion, you can only say that love truly is love once you're both dead, because it's only then, once you've managed to go your entire lives with each other and there's nowhere for you to go off to or anyone to go off with, that it finally becomes real. Anything else is more or less just infatuation.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'everybody loves a lover but too many people lack Staying Power. Love should be fatal. You should never recover from it. If you can then it wasn't love.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'you might love her, but what about the fact that she doesn't love you? is love really love if only one person stays true to the cause?'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I hadn't thought about what I wanted to do, in any serious manner, for such a long time that the answer didn't come quite as speedily as I felt it should have." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"she was the one I wanted. The only one. She was made for me. I was made for her. She was my Legendary Girlfriend and I'd miss her for as long as I lived." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"My sole aim in life was to find a girlfriend who would make me feel so secure that I'd never have to worry about relationships again. But it was always my fault that it never worked out with the girls I dated. I always underestimated the depths of my insecurity. It had nothing to do with poor self-image -- I actually considered myself quite a catch-- the problem was, I never trusted the women I was involved with to tell the Truth, because the Truth never changes but, as I knew so well, people did. I knew it wasn't everyone, some women did have Staying Power, but it was so impossible to tell which ones they were. Women should come labeled -- it would make life so much more simpler." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'I don't know if you realize this but we are made for each other.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I often liked to imagine that somewhere out there existed a parallel universe where things had turned out okay." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'what do you want? And why aren't I it?'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'You didn't let me grow, will. I've been going out with you since I was eighteen. I'm not the same girl! You've stayed the same, though, you haven't changed at all -- you didn't grow with me -- that's why we're different people. And now I can't breathe. I feel stifled. I feel like you're trying to trap me.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'it's not you, it's me. I've changed. I thought I could be the person that you wanted me to be. For a while it was what I wanted too. I wanted to feel love like it is in the movies and you gave that to me and for that I'll be grateful forever.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I searched her face for signs that she recognized me -- the man she used to love -- and found none." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"'what can you possibly want to say to me? It's over and there's nothing that you can say to change my mind.'" - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
"I remember thinking to myself that the girl in those letters adored me and it was that girl, and not the girl who had dumped me, whom I loved so deeply. The other girl was just an impostor." - My legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
