You laughed at me when I cried. You kissed my forehead and said, "I've left before and you know I always come back" but that's no comfort when I'm sitting here missing you. I know you can't stay forever, we both knew that from the start.
No matter what I do, I can't get you out of my head. I'm watching the screen of my cell phone waiting for it to light up, just to hear your voice and try to act brave and not break down and cry.
Love isn't supposed to be like this. Miles and miles between us. There are times that I think I'd rather be poor than be alone, times when I don't want you out on the road. We both know that isn't going to happen. I know you'll be reading this when you pull over and take a break. I wish I was there with you ..
Why does love have to hurt so much?
I'd really like to know the answer.

Love hurts.. we all learn and live from it. I am sorry for your situation because I know personally the pain love can bring us. We all have loved.. and all have lost. We have had to deal with unpleasant situations.. and we must be able to learn from them. If this is true love, you will find a way to make it work. Time is a test... the truth lies in whether or not your love can endure it. Good luck!

It is true that love hurts but only when you do not have the one you love close by. There is a saying that is ooooh so true. "Give them the gift of missing you."
The problem with that is that when the missing is too much it goes from just missing to needing and that is painful.
You have only two choices. Get yourself involved in something you love to do that will take your mind off him or work something out with him that will bring him back to you. There is really very little else you can do.
I know not your real situation but I am guessing your man is on the road a lot. Your love burns so much brighter because you don't have him all the time. If he were with you all the time you can bet that your feelings would change. You may then be happy but that missing him would be gone and the taking for granted would begin. This is our human condition that makes no sense but it is the way it is.
Try to get you mind off him by doing something you really love. Look forward to the next time he is there but do not dwell on it. You do this and you will find it much more bearable. My only question would be why does he not change what he does so he can be with you? Would he even consider that?
I wish you the very best.

Love always hurts no matter how much u put into it...We always get screwed in the end. I don't think there truly is that "one person" like some say...But I guess you just have 2 keep searching and sooner or later they will come 2 u...Love is complicated and tears u up!

Love hurts! this is really true.... sounds unfair sometimes but its the real world of loving. Loving is about sacrifice and miserable that tends two people cry and say good bye. I would say, pain and heartaches are all part of loving.

I don’t know the answer coz I’m myself trying to figure it out why it hurts so much whenever my hubby goes out of town with work. And to think that we’ve been married 12 longs years and I cant seem to be able to stay 12 days without him.
Things have come to such a pass that he is really looking for a job that would not require travel.

Love hurts when you need someone. If you didn't need them but just enjoyed being with them, it would not hurt. I learned that the hard way. In other words, get a life. I don't mean to sound hurtful but you can't depend on someone else for your happiness. If you are not happy with yourself, you can't be happy with someone else and you are doomed to misery.
I hope you feel better soon.

love does hurt, and for me..when I get hurt..it's because I do LOVE the person, but i learn to let the person go. I mean i just let it be, besides he is coming back for you...Just endure the pain, this is what love does it has it's ups and downs. If you really love that person, the you should also learn how to be patient and don't let go...it's a;ready hard to be apart don't let your heart cause and cost you more pain when he goes...just wait because he told you that he will be back and he always do...
