It should be a matter of common sense to know
that It’s hard to give up the things you love. I shall tell a story that will
help me illustrate the difficulties of walking away.
There’s something about loving too much that I don’t understand. I’ve
experienced it myself, but somehow it didn’t open my eyes to such a sad
reality.
They met on a distant land. Distance does not help the soul on this case. She
had to go back home, wherever home was. He had to stay. So they became yet
another couple trying to make a long distance relationship work. Months passed
by, and promises were made. She only felt comfortable with him. But as their
love grew with time, so did her ideas. She felt she was holding him back. So
this girl made a choice. A decision she must now regret. She did it for her own
sake, and her love’s as well. She didn’t grew tired of him, she didn’t want
somebody else. She just couldn’t stand to see a “grown man waiting on a girl”.
That’s the way she would put it.
So she stopped it all: no more contact, no more of her love. She gave him
freedom. She did so because she loved him too much. I still don’t understand
how a person sacrifices love. When you lose bad memories, you lose good ones as
well. It's a sacrifice you make for peace of mind. I feel her pain, and I don’t
know what I would’ve done if it were me. People say that if something truly
belongs to you, and you let it go, that It would come right back to you. I hope
that’s true. Sacrifices should not be made. It breaks the heart and it hurts
the soul as well.
I know I’m only pointing out the obvious. But still… we all like happy endings.
We all like the guy getting the girl at the end of the picture. It’s the way it
has been since the beginning. I’m not one to talk about love, but if you ever
met my friend, and if she worked the nerve to tell you her life story, you
would feel like me; you’d want her to be happy. And I know someday she will.
She doesn’t like to harvest hope inside of her, but deep down her heart wants a
second chance.
I would like to speak directly to her now, since I know she will read this…
“Don’t give up. I know life has mistreated you. I know you do not deserve pain,
even if you like to think otherwise. You’re just another tortured soul, wanting
to let go. If you were once capable of such an admirable action, such a display
of selfishness that took both courage and strength, that means you’re fit to
keep on fighting the big battle. So keep on going darling. Make me proud”.
