Hurts Quote by Justin Lee Riner
“Life is a gift. We are slowly unwrapping it. You have ten fingers and ten toes, but only one heart and one soul. Sometimes it actually hurts more to be with someone than break up. If the love isn't mutual it'll never work. A real man wouldn't make his lady cry. If he does, she can always come to me and I'll dry her pretty little eyes.”
