Lovelorn Quotes

“I would never normally approach a woman in this way, but I couldn't help but notice that you have the eyes of a lady I was once desperately in love with. "

I ignored her gibe. "I am only a fool once. Never will I love again.”
― Patrick Rothfuss

“Attraction is often mistaken to be love.
If you're in a relationship doesn't necessarily mean you're in love. And what do you do when that ephemeral attraction is long gone?

― Sanhita Baruah

I choose silence so that you leave,
Kiss me goodbye and set me free...”

with a rat in its stomach,
that had eaten the cheese,
that my lover left behind,
the day she went away.

- Saudade”
― C. Sean McGee
