Breakup Quote by LJ Pemberton

“Breakups and divorces, disappointments and failures, all summoned the old hurt, and I began to wonder if every heartache wasn’t just practice for the eternal separation between the living and the dead. As with any loss, it is not the dead who suffer, but the steady flaming fools left behind.” quote by LJ Pemberton
