Heartbreak Quotes

In less than three years you had entirely ruined me in every point of view. For my own sake there was nothing for me to do but to love you.

They know she'll ask for help in putting it back together the right way - intact and beating correctly - and they dread the thought of puzzling over layers that they can't understand, let alone rebuild. They'd rather just not get blood on their hands.But sharks are different. They smell the blood of desperation and circle in. They whisper into a girl's ear, I'll make it better.
