They say, "Men hate to cry, they rarely ever do. But, when a man cries over you, you know he loves you. Because men only cry when they lost something or are afraid of losing something that they love as much or more than themselves." But he cried over me, he practically died for me, time after time after time. And he gave up. He didn't love me, he couldn't have. You don't give up on the people you love. And I think that's part of the reason why I haven't given up hope of him returning to me.

I loved mine, and letting go was the best thing we could do for each other. Sometimes it's not "giving up" as much as it's just "giving".
ReplyDeleteYou can love someone and still not be a good couple. People change, people grow apart and nothing bad has to happen for this to happen. The person above is right it isn't "giving up" it is coming to the realization that even though you love this person (and they love you too) that together you may not be the happiest or healthiest.
ReplyDeleteMy sister went out with one of her best friends, they dated for almost 3 years. They survived her being abroad in New Zealand for 6 months and her living in LA for a year. Their break up was horrible and heart breaking for both of them. They loved each other and wanted to get married. But he was self-destructive and despite the love they had for each other my sister couldn't pull him out of it and he was starting to take her down with him. They were both heart broken and the break up was dragged out forever. But both understood why it happened and that it was necessary for both of them to be truly happy even though they loved each other so much.
They are still friends.
Sometimes loving someone really does mean that you have to let them go. Let them mature. Let them (and yourself) find happiness outside of the relationship.
