"Those who came before him are barely fragments of my life; they're more like part of the person I used to be rather than the person I am." - JoAnne Golden

"He's the exact OPPOSITE of what I imagined the person of my dreams would be, but now that I've met him, I couldn't imagine him being any other way." - JoAnne Golden

"And I just want to let you know that I'll never forget that night. For once in my life, everything was perfect. The way we danced, how you held me close, the song -- everything. The memory will forever live in my heart. And even though I know it was all just a lie...I'll never forget the way you made me feel. And, somewhere inside I'm content knowing that, even if for that one night, I had you." - JoAnne Golden

"I never needed someone before, then the minute you walked into my life, I knew I couldn't live without you." - JoAnne Golden

"I've decided you're not worth it. I won't shed another tear over you. Why on earth would I cry over someone who could care less about me? That only makes me seem pathetic. And I'm not. I never was. I was only in love with someone who didn't have the capability of loving me back." - JoAnne Golden

"And I sat there, staring at you, staring at me, and the only thing I could think of was how much I never wanted this feeling to go away." - JoAnne Golden

"I've waited for you two to be over since you've basically been together. And now that you finally are . . . I want nothing to do with you." - JoAnne Golden

"You've been my rock: like the one person in my life that I've been able to count on... and you're leaving and suddenly I feel like the foundation I've been secured on is shaking, and I have nowhere to go but down." - JoAnne Golden

"Sometimes I look back and wish he wouldn't have hurt me so bad. After all, if he hadn't, I wouldn't be as terrified as I am now about being in a relationship. At the same time, if he hadn't broken my heart, I wouldn't know better. I'd keep going back to him, and he'd keep leading me on. And most importantly, I'd be stuck in a never ending cycle of believing that I couldn't do any better." - JoAnne Golden

"You have this amazing ability to make me go weak in the knees." - JoAnne Golden

"You think you can just walk back in my life now that you guys are through? No I don't think so. I've moved on." - JoAnne Golden

"I should have never pushed him. he should have never pushed me away. when you're friends with someone for so long you think to yourself that you mean something to that person. even if it's not true.. you convince yourself it is. it's only the realization that you don't that hurts. it's that day when you wake up and realize that even though you had spent more than half of your lifetime loving one person... you were nothing more than a person passing through one in theirs. some people never get attached. it's unfortunate that he was one of those people. but I'm glad I'm not. I'm glad I've been able to open up and love people--let people in. I'm really glad. because if I hadn't... I wouldn't know as much about myself now." - JoAnne Golden

"I love being in his arms and listening to his heart beat. I love standing up next to him and raising my heels to kiss him even though I don't have to." - JoAnne Golden

"you're so mysterious! you never tell me anything about you. it makes me crazy! and it keeps me crazy for you." - JoAnne Golden

"So you're gone and I know you had me promise I wouldn't cry, and I'm sorry. I know you're never coming back and I may never see you again, and well, it hurts. It hurts beyond imagination. And I thought I could handle it, but I can't. I want to reach out and touch you -- kiss you -- but you're not there. I would have given anything to tell you, 'I love you' one last time. But it wouldn't have changed anything. I despise fate." - JoAnne Golden

"All families have problems. Mine especially. But I love them without end. Not because they're blood--but because we rely on each other. . . when others scurry away. We can not talk for weeks, and we can pick up right where we left off--in the midst of conversation and friendly embraces. That's what family is all about." - JoAnne Golden

I know what I want. I want him. And only him. - JoAnne Golden

I realized that it doesn't matter whether we last a week, a month, a year, or we end right now; I'm happy when I'm around him. I'm so happy that it scares me. It hurts to think that it might not work, I won't deny that. Once you've been shattered as many times as I have, you can't imagine there's a person out there that's not out to break your heart. But I truly believe he isn't. I don't have a doubt in my mind that his intentions are anything short of honorable. He doesn't tell me how he feels a lot which makes me quite nervous because I've been in relationships where nothing was said and it seemed fine before it was over. I don't want to give up--not just because I've been hurt in the past. Not every person who enters my life is going to hurt me. I just wish that I would have realized this a while ago... I might have saved some heartbreak on my part due to the fact that I was too scared to allow myself to become attached. I'm sick of being scared. I just want to be... and let my

“he’s still in my heart. he’s never been removed… he’d just been temporarily replaced.” – JoAnne Golden

“Before I always had this assurance I could get him back whenever things got tough. Now, I can’t. I know I can’t. It’s like a rude awakening from the dream world I was living in. And someone’s nudging me saying I’m not in Kansas anymore.” – JoAnne Golden
