There is nothing sadder in this life than to watch someone you love walk away after they have left you. To watch the distance between your two bodies expand until there is nothing left but empty space... and silence." This love quote is taken from the movie "Someone Like You"

To have the person you love walk away from your life is a very painful thing. Knowing that after this minute, this moment, your love is no longer your love and you have lost your love. From this moment onwards, there will be no link between your life and your love's life. And it hurts.

When we break up with our love, we will tend to have this desire to get our love back into our life. Losing our love is so painful. But we should try our best to calm our mind down to think through. Is it better for us to want our love back? Is the relationship worth saving? Did our love abuse us, mentally and/or physically? If it was an abusive relationship, then it would be best to just let it go. Other than abusive relationship, most of the relationship are actually worth saving.

When we started dating our love, the relationship is new and everything that we does is wonderful. There can be no fault. Everything is just nice and sweet. Then time passes and we started to get comfortable with each other. We let our usual habits show and gradually, we started to see the faults in each other. That's when quarrels and disagreement started to step in. What was once wonderful started to change and become not so nice anymore. This is where the relationship will face the test. If one party does not want to put in the effort to make things work, then break up will happen.

However, breaking up doesn't mean that it's the end of everything. That you have lost your love forever. There are still things you can do to get your ex back. Following are 4 steps that you can take to get your ex back:

Saying sorry is often the best method to get your love back. But bear in mind that you have to apologise for the right thing. Simply saying sorry without knowing what you are apologising for will not work. When you apologise to your love, your love might dig up pass faults. Stay calm. Whatever you do, do not get into an argument with your love. You are trying to get your love back, arguing now will just make things worse.

If your love is willing, arrange with your love for a time to sit down together and have a good talk. Bear in mind that this is not a time to blame each other. Be objective and talk about the issues that you and your love have and how to solve them. If your love is not willing to sit down and have a good talk, move on to the next step. Do not force your love into in by begging, pleading, crying or threatening.

It is normal to miss your love and want to see them and talk to them. But your love might not want the same thing as you. Give your love some space and allow both of you to have a chance to cool down. After your love has a chance to cool down, they might realise that they actually miss you.

Show your love that you care about yourself. Acting needy and clingy does not help you to get your love back. Staying at home and keep trying to call or text your love will not help you. Instead, call up your friends and go out with them. Go to the movies, do sports, etc. Fill up your time. On top of these, take care of your appearance. Dress smartly. Make sure that you always look your best. By taking care of your image and occupying your time, you will feel good and appear confident which is attractive to others, including your love.
