On Letting Go

Hmmm, more often than not, they who go feel not the pain of parting, it is they who stay behind that suffer, because they are left with the memories of a love that was meant to be, a love that was. At the beginning and at the end of a relationship, we are embarrassed to ourselves alone. Unfair as it may seem but that’s the way love goes. That’s the drama, the bitter, sweet and risks of falling in love. After all nothing is constant but change. Everything will eventually come to its end without us knowing how, without us ever knowing why. And we must forget, not because we want to, because we have to. In letting go, sorrows come not as a single spy but in battalion. It seems like everywhere you go, everything you do, every song you hear, every turn of your head, every move of your body, every beat of your heart, every blink of your eye, and every breath you take will always remind you of him. It is like a stab of a knife, a torture in the night. Funny how the whole world becomes depopulated when only one person is missing. Just imagine, there are six billion people on earth and yet it seems you feel lonely and empty without the other. I don’t know if it’s worth calling an art, but letting go entails special skills sparkle with a considerable space and time. Time heals all wounds but it takes a little push on our part. Acceptance plays a part. Not all wishes come true. Not all love stories end with “and they live happily ever after.” Sometimes we have to part because of circumstances beyond our control. We have to suffer if it would mean happiness for others. We have to cry temporarily to let go of the pains. Every beginning has its end like every dawn has its dusk. It’s something we can’t control, something we have to live up. It’s over. He’s gone. But life has to go on.

...Goodbye doesn’t always mean forever. There are always be a place and time where questions will be answered, words will be spoken, letters will be read, poems will be recited in the night, songs will be sung in harmony, love will be expressed in solitude and promises will be fulfilled.

Somewhere…………

Somehow……….

Someday…………..

And as the old adage goes, ONLY TIME IS CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING HOW GREAT LOVE IS.
