There
are times when loving someone
means we must let them go.
It is not healthy or
productive to remain in
a relationship that
makes us happy
sometimes, sad most of
the time. Yet we
hang on. We hang
on believing that
something bad will
happen to the person if
we let him or her go.
That is our ego telling
us what we want to hear.
We hang on in fear that
no one else will love
them or us the way we
want to be loved.
This time the ego is
telling us that we are
not good enough.
We hang on because we
don't know who or what
may come along. We
believe that
there is a lack of available
mates. We hang on
wishing, hoping, trying
to make it work --
afraid it will not.
When a relationship is
over, it is over; but
the love can live on.
Loving someone means you
want him
or her to be
happy. If that person
can be happy
without you,
love enough to let
go.
