“Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly;
In my own way, and with my full consent.
Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarely
Went to their deaths more proud than this one went.
Some nights of apprehension and hot weeping
I will confess; but that’s permitted me;
Day dried my eyes; I was not one for keeping
Rubbed in a cage a wing that would be free.
If I had loved you less or played you slyly
I might have held you for a summer more,
But at the cost of words I value highly,
And no such summer as the one before.
Should I outlive this anguish-and men do-
I shall have only good to say of you.” — Edna St. Vincent Millay

“Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.” — Washington Irving

“Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.” — Otomo No Yakamochi

“There is love of course. And then there’s life, its enemy.” — Jean Anouilh

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” — Alfred Lord Tennyson

“Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.” — Kahlil Gibran

“I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken — and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.” — Margaret Mitchell

“The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.” — G. K. Chesterton
