THE ART of LETTING go

Why do we have to part while the love is still there?
Why do we have to suffer?
Why do we have to cry when somebody bids goodbye?
Why do beginnings have to end?
Why do we have to meet only to lose in the end?


There are questions left unanswered,
words left unsaid,
letters left unread,
poems left undone,
songs left unsung,
love left unexpressed,
promises left unfulfilled.

In a relationship, one of the hardest things to do is
saying goodbye and letting go.
It is as hard as breaking a crystal
because you'll never know
when you will be able to pick up the pieces again.

More often than not, they who go,
do not feel the pain of parting,
it is they who stay behind that suffer,
because they are left with 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 find ourselves alone.
Unfair as it may seem,
but that's the way love goes.

That's the drama, the bittersweet and the risk of
falling in love.
After all, nothing is constant but change.
Everything will eventually come to its end
without us knowing when,
without us knowing how,
without us even knowing why.
And we must not forget because we have to but
because we HAVE TO.

In letting go,
sorrows come not as a single spy but in batallion.
It seems that 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,
always reminds you of him.
It's 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 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 sparkled with a
considerable space and time.
Time heals all wounds but it takes a little push on
our part.
Acceptance plays a part.

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 to temporarily 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 had
to live up.

It's over.
He's gone.
But life has to go on.
Goodbye DOESN'T always mean forever.
There WILL 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..
