Mixtapes to those you *used* to date C/D?

So I made this tape for an ex-girlfriend of mine.

It had a lot of Soul tracks and songs with "love" in the title.

Nothing ever came of it, but I still felt great having done it.

And the question... Is it better to have loved and given, then never to have figured out what the fuck is going on?

i'm almost entirely sure i've never made a mix for someone i was no longer with.

I guess I'd have to say this album is
dedicated to you.
Although perhaps you may not be happy,
this is what you want,
so I conceded.
I hope it makes you happy.
There's a lot of truth in it, babe.
I don't think I'll have many regrets, baby.
Things didn't have to be the way they was, baby.
You don't have the right to use the son of mine
to keep me in line.
One thing I can't do without
is the boy whom God gave to both of us.
I'm so happy, oh, for the son of mine.
So here it is, babe.
I hope you enjoy, reminisce, be happy,
think about the kisses and the joy.
But there were those other moments too,
the times that were cloudy and grey.
Bad.
But you taught me that was life.
May love ever protect you,
may peace come into your life.
Always think of me the way I was.
Ha, I was your baby.

This is what you wanted.
Here, dear, here it is.
Here, my dear, here it is.

i made a breakup mixtqape for my ex boyfriend. it was way too nice and way too understanding.

now i am going to make another one, comprised entirely of songs with the word "hate" in them. maybe i shall even write some of my own to go on it.

In my case It feels strange, like if you had to club a baby seal or die of starvation. You have to do it, but you know you really shouldn't

I called my exgirlfriend a few nights ago at around 3:30am when I was drunk and walking home across the bridge. I left a very pathetic voicemail! Yes! (I would never expend the energy on making her another mix tape; she was at least four from me, and I'm certain she never listens to them.)

I actually made a mix for my ex GF and gave it to her in the morning, only to have her break it off at night. It started out with Roy Orbison's "In Dreams", possibly the saddest song i know..
