I really do miss you…and everything we had. I wish you every single happiness. Because you will always, forever be the first volume of my life…if not, the entire book.
wow that was actual garbage. This is the most pseudo-intellectual trash trying to make a statement about relationships that I have ever read. Basically it is the equivalent of the statement: “i know right?” trying to pass of relationships as it they are both meaningful and meaningless at the same time.. This is the type of self delusional garbage I hope I never see again on the internet. Please give up on your “art”, get over yourself, and do something meaningful with your life. Something that involves keeping your terrible and altogether anti-insightful thoughts to yourself.
The thing is, this wasn’t intellectual at all, it is pure emotion. This is what letting go means,it is not forgiveness nor redemption it is the full realization and acceptance of ones feelings and that you can’t change the past. If this didn’t make you feel better consider yourself lucky, it means you couldn’t understand someone in that position and therefore haven’t gone through something like this.
To the artist, thanks. I think we’ve all felt this way at some point.
To Guy, shut up, grow up, and come back when you have something useful to say. Or not at all. No one will miss your negativity here. You can’t define what thoughts and feelings another person is or isn’t allowed to think or feel. I assume you feel good about yourself, lashing out on the internet anonymously, but the truth is that you’re a coward. You don’t know what to do with emotions when they don’t make sense, so you dismiss them, and insult the people who attempt to work through them, analyze them, and understand them. You’re not fooling anyone. You’re as afraid and confused as the rest of us. The difference is that we accept it.
This brought tears to my eyes. I do miss her and I do love her still. I just hope she finds the love that I obviously couldn’t give her. It hurts to know that she will find somebody else but as long as she is happy then that’s all that matters. Forever and ever. Remember that, beautiful.
I posted this on facebook, but just wanted to repost: This comic made me well up with tears. And I typically don’t get emotional over comics! Extremely good work!

Having recently had my fiance leave me for another man, this almost made me cry. Thank you for putting it up.

same story here, buddy.
i’m in the philippines. i know, it’s a third world country. she was fortunate enough to get to the states. i just can’t give her the dreams and her ambitions because i don’t have a green card. it was all beautiful. the dreams of us being together there and working for that dream. i just got kicked out of that plan and replaced by some lucky guy who all he had to do was get born there. this literally made my cry here at my work. thanks to robyn. i look forward to that someone i won’t have to say goodbye to.
Wow. After experiencing this exact conversation minus us still being together… somehow… that hurt. These exact sentiments were expressed verbally almost to the tee and it was a sad read.
I related so much; my own memories appeared and then the sad truth set in.
Rollercoaster, but also reassurance.
Thanks for sharing.
I was supposed to get married. I loved her very much. I thought we were happy. She seemed happy. I know I was. But things started to fall apart. I just didn’t want to recognize the signs. I thought that if we went on a cruise things would get better and any doubts about getting married would quickly evaporate. We went on the cruise. The tension was still there and yet I ignored it. I should have been more caring. Instead I blew up at her for something small and insignificant. I don’t know why I flew off the handle. And yet I still thought things would be perfect. She met someone on that cruise. An artist. A man who had practically nothing. She left me for him. To this day, even though I’m rich beyond my wildest dreams, I am a broken man. I may never know love again and that makes me very…
This is the closest I’ve felt to Carla, my ex, in days. Thank you. I miss her so much but I know she’s happy and that’s why I decided to stay away from her life. Her birthday was a month ago and even though I cried myself to sleep because I just wanted to hold her and hug her and wish her happy birthday, I knew she was having a good time with her new gf or whatever and I prefer her happiness. I miss you, C.
This is so amazing. This is exactly how I am with my ex. He literally changed me as a person and he broke my heart. I’m pretty sure right now he hates me, but I’m still always going to wonder if he’s okay, how his life is going, etc. It sucks.
So true how we just want the person to remember what it was like at the start, i hope she does think a little about me sometimes, like an old book being re-open and just don’t forget about me, not in a addictive way but relationships make us grow and make us become , who we are
Oh god I’m crying. I haven’t cried in weeks!!!!
Good comic, guys. Actually made me tear up.

That was beautiful. I felt all of that energy. Thank you for putting that out for us to read.
Great comic. I can’t remember how many email’s I’ve written just like this to only click “close”.
This one strikes home, thanks for the journey and emotions! (Now if only I hadn’t read this at work and gotten all sentimental..)

I do still think about you. There is so much that reminds me of you. But I know that I am happier now, and I sincerely hope that you are as well.

I miss what we had and hate that it feels like no matter how much we tried it could never be like it was. I miss us.
omg so sad, i got tears in my eyes!
