Truth of the Matter

I’ve been told — countless of times — to never let go of someone you truly love, because sooner or later, you’d regret your decision of letting them go. But sometimes that’s exactly what you have to do, with no choice, you have to let them walk away because it’s too painful to have them stay any longer. You want them to be happy. You want them to live without complications. So you clench your teeth and pretend to not care, waiting for them to disappear from your life even though your heart’s screaming at you to hold them back.

That’s one of the reason why love hurts so much. But you know that it’s love because you’re willing to put someone’s happiness before your own. Sometimes…you just have to walk away and be the bigger person. You’ll hurt for a while, but knowing that, that person is happy is enough for you to carry on.
