when i was a kid, i didn’t really understood the concept of “kapag mahal mo, papakawalan mo” kasi nga mahal mo ‘di ba? bakit mo gugustuhing mawala siya sa’yo? not until i got to experience it, tama nga sila — kapag mahal mo, papakawalan mo. because the longer you’ll stay, the more pain you’ll suffer from.

letting go isn’t always easy, i get that. it takes time. well, it took me time to let you go, i admit that it was hard but i actually glad that i did. i loved you, that’s why i let you go. because it wasn’t only for me, but it was also for you — for the peace of mind of the both of us so that we can move forward.

i did let you go but the memories and the friendship that we have made together will always be here, i will always cherish that. no matter how much pain you got me through, a part of me will always smile when i remember it.

this is your reminder that you should let them go, not because they wanted you to but also do it for you. trust me, it’ll be worth it. you’ll have your peace of mind knowing that the pain you’re going through right now will just be a memory someday. you’ll have your happy ending too — going to sleep without a heavy heart thinking about it.
