They say a broken heart takes years to mend. And that's certainly the case for closet romantic Pete Doherty.He broke up with Kate Moss in July 2007 - yet continues to hanker after the star.
Speaking to The Observer, Pete, or Peter, as he would now prefer to be known, laid bare the wounds of his relationship past, saying:
"Really and truly, I miss her (Kate). And I'd like to speak to her. But the first part of speaking to her probably would be just not to talk about her.
"And that's one thing I've got to learn. But I need to talk to people so badly about it, because it's something that's so confusing for me still.
"But I can't. Because the only person really I can talk to would be her."
Bless. He really sounds like he's got his knickers in a lovesick twist...
This raw heartache lament comes on the back of a more forthright admission from the 30-year-old indie rocker, who admitted to wanting to headbutt Kate's current boyf Jamie Hince, should he ever come across him
"I wanted to see Lily Allen play the other week," Peter told Q magazine.
"But her label EMI got in touch and said, 'We don't want you there because Kate Moss will be there and it will take attention away from Lily. Can you not go?'
"I was so insulted. I don't know. I think I would have been courteous enough.
"Then I'd probably have headbutted her new boyfriend, put her over my shoulder and run off."
Young love, eh? So very... passionate.
