The Illusion of Love

Where Love's Horizon Fades

The saddest thing in love is that you regard the other person as the whole world, but in the other person's world, you are just dispensable.

You thought that if you kept giving, they would cherish you, but in the end, you were still alone guarding the memories of two people; you thought that if you kept being tolerant, others would be moved, but in the end, you only moved yourself.

You thought that the lifetime promised would really last a lifetime, but later you found out that it was just a joke, but you believed it like a fool.

You have never thought that in the other person's heart, you are just someone else; but in the end, you have to accept the fact that each other has become a passerby.

The so-called love is not as beautiful as imagined. It is only more cruel than imagined.

After being together for a long time, there is less tenderness and more quarrels, less communication, and more trouble. No one is satisfied and no one is willing to give in.

The deep affection and liking at the beginning are just accidental, but they make so many people open their hearts, lungs, and even their bodies.

The sadness when missing out and the pain, when things end, are already destined, but they make many people miserable and difficult to accept.

We have all doubted love before, but how many people can resist the temptation? Otherwise, so many people wouldn't lose themselves and lose their egos.

In the end, all we can do to comfort ourselves is just one sentence: forget it.
