I believe that when we deeply love someone, we may need to walk away and begin our lives again, but we still may feel the caring we had for them. Just because we feel that twinge of “missing them” it sure doesn’t mean you want them back especially if it’s a relationship that has been abusive and toxic. So if you’re ever tempted by the mind to believe “it’s ok, they’ve changed, it wasn’t that bad” stop in that moment, take a few breaths and repeat to yourself. “It is what it is, I don’t want them back, I’m just momentarily missing him or her. This is true for any relationship we have my loves; work, family, things. - Brenda Patnode

You can miss something & not wanting it back. - Paulo Coelho
