Breakup Quote by Anonymous

“I'm sorry that I said goodbye, people say I did the right thing but they don't have to cry. I can love you for all the thing that you are, and then hate you for all the things that you're not, I want you to go, I want you to stay, but I can't have it both ways.” quote by Anonymous
