Since you’ve been gone…
I’ve learned that you never really know what you had until you don’t have it anymore.
I’ve learned that it takes no effort at all to fall in love with someone, but it can take all the effort in the world not to love them, and even then that may not be enough.
I’ve learned that it can be more frightening to imagine not loving someone anymore, than it can be to keep on loving them.
I’ve learned that with every person you say “I love you” to, and really mean it, you give a small piece of your heart away, and take a piece of theirs, never to truly get it back.
I’ve learned that you can have a perfect relationship in every way, but you can never be perfectly sure, because there are no guarantees in life.
I’ve learned that while there are rules in every relationship, there are no rules at all in breaking up, and someone always gets hurt, and it’s not necessarily anyone’s fault, because both people are hurting and no one is winning.
I’ve learned that love dies much slower than hate, and that love can live deep in your heart forever.
I’ve learned that you cannot control someone or make them love you, all you can do is love them, sometimes only silently, and hope that one day will be the right time once more, if it’s really meant to be.
I’ve learned that if you really love someone, you wish only for their happiness, even if it means them finding it with someone other than you, and though it may break your heart, you find it within yourself to smile for them all the same.
I’ve learned that it is the smallest things that make you fall in love in the first place, and the smallest things that break you up in the end.
I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter who was right.
I've learned that money and jobs, education and careers, fancy things and elaborate gifts- none of these matter in the end. What matters is how you treat someone. It's not where you're from or even where you're going, but who you are right now. Who you are to the one that loves you.
I’ve learned that love should be enough, but it often isn’t, but only because we don’t let it be. We're too caught up in the superficiality of life and in what other people tell us is right. And that is the biggest tragedy.
I’ve learned that you should never be afraid to speak your heart, because you don’t know when you may have another chance, and you should never let someone leave without telling them just how much you love them.
I’ve learned that love isn’t all about feelings, it’s about a person, a connection, a commitment. It takes work, it takes effort, it takes a decision not to let it go.
I’ve learned that sometimes we let go far too easily. And sometimes, not easily enough.
I’ve learned that if someone is worth it, you should never stop believing, and that hope can live long after you think it has died.
I’ve learned that I love you.
And I want you to come back home.
But not until you’re ready.
And I will be here...waiting.
