why let go?


There comes a time in your life when you just have to let loose of the tangible things or let go of that special someone who enormously matters to you, so much that you almost lost yourself in the process of making that person feel significant, if not loved and beloved.



You do that not because you want to.



But more importantly, you undertake the long and excruciating agony of letting go because you have to and for the sane reason that letting go is the only right decision that you can do to liberate yourself from the self-inflicted complication.



While it is true that you can shower him with so much love,
Selfless caring and even a vital part of your heart, you cannot coerce him to love you back. Or give you back the same things you have shown him, let alone the littlest genuine caring, or loving.



You can buy his time, but not his attention. You can buy his attention, but not his wandering thoughts. You can buy his train of thoughts, but not his most sincere delivery of what truly unfolds when you two are not together.



You love him. You care for him. But you cannot and will not be able to stop him from leaving you, if he wants to be with someone else instead.



Now that is where the real magic of love and loving truly lies.



In loving without boundaries.
In seeing what is beyond the physical.
Even in times that the soul of love is already trampled on.



But then again, you let loose. You just have to let go, no matter how it hurts. And the only consolation you can get is to appease yourself in the belief that all things will work for what is good.



And for what it is worth, letting go could actually be saving you from the wrong person after all.





I, recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone, yeah
I, recommend walking around naked in your living room, yeah

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn


You grieve you learn, you choke you learn
You laugh you learn, you choose you learn
You pray you learn, you ask you learn
You live you learn
