Finding the right person Quote by Ritu Ghatourey
“The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person, it's learning to love the person you found. I want to be sorry. I want to tell you that I messed up and that I never want to leave your side, but I can't. You've made me strong enough to let things go. Wise enough to protect myself from heartache. I'm sorry, but you've made me smart enough to leave you”
