Cant let go Quote by Anonymous
“There's someone else I'm finally thinking of. Someone else's smile is taking over my heart. I'm trying so hard not to let you know that I still am trying to let go. I'll be damned if I let you know...that I still find it hard to sleep at night. Someone else is making me smile but that doesn't mean I haven't stopped crying for you.”
