Just Because It's Over It Doesn't Mean I Stopped Loving You

It is so hard to leave-- until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.

“I don’t believe in goodbyes.

I don’t believe that the connections we have to people and things are temporary. That somewhere along the way they cease to exist, cease to carry meaning, cease to be something real. 

Because no matter the time, the distance, the loss in our life, they will forever carry weight. 

A goodbye implies that there is an end. And in human connections, in love, in life, there is no end. 

Just a transference to something else—new love, new connections, new relationships, a rebirth.”

“There’s a trick to the ‘graceful exit.’ It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over — and let it go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out.”

“This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.”

“You left with no goodbye,
Not a single word was said,
No final kiss to seal any sins,
I had no idea of the state we were in,

I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head.”
— Adele, 21

And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind”

I almost do,”
