Gaps Quotes - Page 3

• You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved.

This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?
