tell me a secret of love or lost love

Hello. 
I am in the third year of my textiles degree studying BA Hons Printed Textiles Design at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, Surrey. I am currently working on my major project, and it's theme is the secrets of lovers and lost lovers. I am planning to print interactive wallpapers which will act as a comfort device for the user. They will have pockets which open up and for those in love will contain pens and paper to write love letters to their loved ones, for those with broken hearts the pockets will open up to provide tissues, and other comforting things. 

So far my research has taken the following routes:

Part 1: I handmade 40 envelopes, each unique, with a stamp on the outside. Inside each envelope was two slips of paper. One paper that listed the directions for the project (eg: write your name, tell the truth, answer the questions, my address to post it to, and a request for them to include a photograph of themselves), and another paper which said "What is your name?", a randomly selected question (eg: what do you collect? what is your favourite word in the english language? etc), and finally "Tell me a secret." The responses I received were mixed and extremely varied. 

Part 2. I handed out slips of blank paper and asked people around campus to tell me a secret about love or lost love. The responses I received have been so far so good. 

For the final part of my research for this project I am writing this blog and asking everyone to visit it, and post anonymously a secret about love or lost love. I do not need to know your name. Just tell me a secret. It can be as heartfelt or heartbreaking as you want. I will not know which secrets belong to who. 

Post away, thank you!

i hope his new girlfriend crushes him the way that he once crushed me.

i used to think i wanted him to be happy, but the truth is i just want him to wallow in the fact that he gave up the best thing he's ever had.

It is too good a thing to be true. I fear it won't last because nothing ever does, but oh how i love him.

I'm terrified of ever being in another relationship.
I gave all the blood, sweat and tears to the last relationship.
I really don't think I have it in me to do it again.

Perhaps someone will come along to change my mind.

I am relatively small. I fantasize about my ex girlfriend making me watch her make love to her husband, who is very long and thick. She has me hold her hand and suckle her while he slides his massive member in and out of her. After he explodes inside of her, she pushes my head between her legs and tells me to clean up his mess. She flips over on her stomach and has me spead her cheeks and clean her there as well. When I am done, she laughs while, looking at her nakedness, I am forced to take care of myself.

Am i selfish that i haven't cried once since my boyfriend and i broke up a week ago? i know i am his first love, but he's not mine.
i can't shake off the feeling that being hurt so much in the past has made me immune to it all.... but i don't want to be alone.

I was dating a guy, I met someone better. I dumped him. The 'someone better' turned out to be horrible, so I asked for another chance. He accepted. Then I started liking another guy. We broke up again. The other guy turned horrible. I'm still in love with the first guy.

I would always pretend to smile to show you that I was over you, but deep down I was dieing inside

I know this isn't used anymore but I wrote a comment up above saying how I had met someone and ended it with Would I believe it.
We stayed together for 33 blissful months till he broke my heart because he wants to sleep around he says he will never want me back. It breaks my heart more and more everyday. I wish he would come back. No matter what he has done. He was my best friend, my first love. I will never feel like this for anyone even though I'm forcing myself to but I know I would take him back in a heart beat.
I just want to be happy
