"I keep thinking that there is some magic word or sentence that will cause him to wake up and realize that he loves me. If I thought that leaving him behind would force him to miss me, to notice just how much he needs me around, I'd walk away. But the truth is, there is no magic phrase, and he wouldn't even notice if I were gone; he'd let me keep walking, and never think to stop me. And that's what hurts the most - knowing that he would never, ever miss me."-Anonymous
