Love in the "What If" Zone: 200 Quotes on Almost-Relationships

Love isn’t meant for everybody.

8.2 billion people on Earth, but not every one of them is entitled.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to see what love looks like and feels like.

Love has two sides to it.

One that makes you the happiest and probably makes you feel like God’s favorite and the other side that brings with it horrible heartache and emotional damage.

Love isn’t an easy emotion to understand.

It brings with it loads of complexities.

Sometimes, the person you love doesn’t love you back, at other times you fail to reciprocate the love that’s showered by some.

Then there are times when you are forced to stay apart and love from a distance but then that also falls apart.

It isn’t easy you know- to crave somebody’s presence so much and yet fail to keep them in your life or see them slipping away from you.

Thus, celebrating the different shades of heartbreak, heartache, unrequited love, crushes, etc., we bring to you a collection of 200 quotes for all of you.
