A broken bone is nothing compared to a broken heart. One is a scratch. The other leaves a scar on your soul.”
When we love, we choose to let part of our heart—part of our soul—live inside of another person. Their happiness is our happiness. Their grief is our grief. And when they die … part of us dies too.”
