Being hurt by someone you love Quote by Anonymous
“You haven't truly loved some one, have you? That's why you can talk so casually. You don't know what it's like to have someone leave your side overnight, do you? Nothing changes except that one person's absence. Someone like you would never understand. Is it so wrong to feel the pain of losing someone?”
