letting go....

saying goodbye and to let go are easy to say but the hardest thing to do. I learned that things change, people change, and it doesn't mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on, and treasure the memories. Good-byes make you think. They make you realize what you’ve had, what you’ve lost and what you’ve taken for granted. Sometimes you have to let go of someone to see if there’s anything there to hold on to. You know its love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

You never realize how much you love someone until they're gone. You never realize that, yes, once their love surrounded you but now, what do you have? Memories. Why does love hurt so much, when it's supposed to be a good thing? Why do we dwell on the past, when the future is what matters? It's something that I guess can't be helped but, maybe it's harder for you then it is for someone else. the scent of a cologne, a song on the radio, a movie, or a single word, these are things that bring back those memories. But you can't hide from these things, because, they're there and no matter how hard you try to, they'll always be there. Even when you have moved on to the future, and things don't trigger the memories as much as before, they still do. You can't forget someone you've loved, you may want to, but you can't. Love cannot be forgotten, no matter how hard we try, and how much we think it will ease the pain, it will always be there, forever.
