Falling out of love Quote by Mayra Piedra
“At first, everything was perfect. Stayed texting each other all night, talked everyday, we would see each other all the time. Our relationship was too good to be true. Now, I'm lucky enough if you keep the conversation going. Im lucky if we see each other for 10 minutes. You're no longer the guy I fell in love with. Something has changed...feelings have changed. I want to break it up and move on, but I cant. Unlike you, I want to see this relationship work.”
