Let her go……
If she doesn’t want to stay, there’s no way that you can stop her
She’s made up her mind
It must have taken a while to muster up the courage
You say it’s rash? Maybe so. Yet, let her go…..
Let him go……
I know it pains you. You are shaken but so is he
Commitment isn’t easy and he wants to break free
You say it’s selfish? Maybe so. Yet, let him go….
There comes a time when things can get overwhelming.
When we begin to question the bonds we knew.
In such circumstances, some need love and some need space
They need to sort out their headspace
Some need to vanish
and some need to be found
Some seek solitude
and some want people around
Some need minutes
and some need a long time
If you have love then let go….
But holding on will do you no good
If they have to return then they would
Yes, I know that you are suffering
Yet, out of this suffering you’ll grow
Don’t blame yourself
Life isn’t perfect
Walk your own path
They might never return or just maybe, they might do

Thank you so much! Deeply appreciated.
I agree… let him/her go… let em consider life have, ‘gainst life had… today the power belongs to em… so let em go… you too will now have the time, and the space to reflect, and become whole again… if there is a return…? you now have the power… use it wisely…!
