We Lost Each Other

If he really cared about you, he would still be in your life. Recently I lost someone whom I trusted the most. We were as close as ever, and then all of a sudden he left me and said that I was nothing to him. I loved him so much. Knowing all of a sudden he hated me hurt the most in life because I really did love and care about him. But I promise things will get better in time. I promise.

I've heard of couples who aren't happy together, staying together for all sorts of reasons IE. for the children, for the in-laws, for financial reasons, for appearances, and on and on. But staying together in misery is not healthy and eventually your health and sanity will suffer. And those around you will see it and more than likely, will also be negatively affected. Breaking up will probably be stressful but not breaking up when the relationship is toxic may be worse.

Guys go through heartbreak too. We feel the loneliness and emptiness too. When you see the one you cared for caring for someone other than you. It's painful when the one you love takes you for a fool. We pretend and appear to be strong, but deep down we break down too.

It has always been hard to find someone loyal and someone that is going to be honest. I found someone and I thought that he was the best person that I have ever met. We became friends. He asked me if we could go out so he could make one of his exes jealous, and I said yes. I said yes because he wanted to make my old best friend jealous. I wanted to get even with her. We started dating and I was so happy. We got into an argument and we broke up. I started crying myself to sleep. I stopped eating. I knew that it was fake, but I started catching feelings. We got back together a couple days after and we just kept breaking up and getting back together. I actually love him, and I honestly do not want to live without him. I have tried to kill myself many different times because my heart hurts so badly. Now that we are in eighth grade, he says that he still has feelings for me. I love him, so we started dating again. When we broke up, I hated myself. Now he has a new girl.

I am an older woman who had been out of the dating scene for 15 years. I was happy and content. Then, in the most unlikely of ways, I met a man I never would have thought I would like. He was intriguing and seemed kind and laid back. He lived 3 hours away from me, which was a huge problem. The other huge problem is that I was going through a "second virginity" and was saving myself for marriage. So, if we were to get together it would be for extended periods of time and sought the question, "What about sleeping arrangements?" I slept with him a few times, but we did not have sex. This poem got me because we talked hours on the phone and texted multiple times every day until after the times we slept together. He became a staple in my life for 6 months. Of course, this was Fall/Winter, so travel was even harder. In the end, he wasn't willing to wait for sex and now he's gone. It's been so hard to recover. I have no one to talk to, but this poem nailed a lot of my feelings.

He was so perfect in every way and I love him dearly, but towards the end things became so toxic. We no longer had the passion, respect, and the abundant love we once shared. This poem reminded me that in a relationship you cannot "lose" each other. I'm not referring to physical loss. I'm referring to always holding each other's hands in a crowd of emotions, arguments, disagreements and whatever differences you may have. Don't forget that you love each other very much. Unfortunately, he and I placed our differences before our love by always fighting to be right and never fighting to understand. And we lost. Beautiful poem, Sierra!

That was very sad, but if you truly love him, then don't give up. What you believe is yours is yours.

I had a boyfriend. Just a 3 month relationship, but love was so intense that we spent our time talking over 3 hours on the phone. We even called ourselves husband and wife. We had a 5 year age difference, and all got burned into ashes when my parents caught our chat. It became a big issue, but still we stood strong. I discussed these with my bud but she brainwashed me. He cried for me several times. He got into a great depression. I got convinced but didn't want him to know that. I sacrificed him for my parents. He asked me many times, but because of myself I lied to him, and now he left me with his new girlfriend. I still believe no one other than me can love and care him better. And now my nights are sleepless and loneliness is frozen. Left with wounds and hopelessness, but I'm sure I can survive. I can laugh and bring fake smiles for those who love me.

I had a boyfriend, and we spent 11 months together. We were so in love. I thought we will marry each other. We trusted each other. I even gave him my virginity because I believed him when he say he loved me. I started to tell him that I wasn't interested in sex because I wanted to focus on my studies, but he didn't understand. He started to avoid me for two weeks. I went to him and asked, but he said it was nothing. I started to panic. He avoided me again for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks he told me that he didn't love me. I tried to ask why, but he didn't want to explain. He left so many unanswered questions in my mind. I thought we would never be apart.
