Almost there...

Received these from e-mail a few days ago...

"Letting go of someone dear to you is hard, but holding on to
someone who doesn't even feel the same is much harder. Giving up
doesn't mean you are weak! It only means that you are strong enough
to let go!"

"Like a rose wilting and dying, so feels my heart. You trampled the
most fragile thing in my body, and didn't even know it. I thought you
felt the same as me; you smiled, touched my arm, stood up for me. My
spirits were lifted. This was the first time anyone did this, and for
a time I felt beautiful because you made me. I never wanted to leave
your side; I was afraid to lose you, but then reality hit me - you
never felt the same, I had been floating on a fake cloud. You
trampled my heart and didn't even know it."

Surprisingly, these are the very thoughts I have now. I tried to assess what I'm feeling these past few days. But still, I know I have to go ahead as I planned. Things will never be the same. Am I prepared to let go? I'm getting there, I guess. In cases as inevitable as the one I'm into right now, there is really no turning back. I believe the best way to let go is to walk out the door and start anew. I will be fine, that I'm very certain of. But for now, I need to love what is right in front of me, before I could learn to start over. And when that opportunity finally comes, it'll have everything I have to offer!!!
