i've been progressing in the southern vampire series (sookie stackhouse novels) and i'd like to share a quote from the third installment, "club dead".

"the sweetest part of being a couple was sharing your life with someone else. but my life, evidently, had not been good enough to share."

this says a lot. i've known that there's a melancholy over this sort of thing when people break up. of missing just having the other person around in the house. when you go to bed, when you wake up, watching tv, etc. to just share space with them. to just share mundane details of your life. but i never realized just how much meaning the other person puts into one's life and how much one will miss that. i haven't move out yet but i totally get this now. i miss them already.
