I know now, I can love you forever, but that love will change into something that sets us both free, something that heals me instead of hurts me. I can still love you without losing myself. I always thought letting go meant the end of love, but even when my heart was broken, it remained soft, open, and ready to love. I know now, I can love you and still let you go. Because even though we loved, lost, and let go, we can still walk away knowing we gave what we could, and even though it was real, it wasn't meant to last. We owe each other the peace to not deny ourselves of a love that is meant to last, even though we couldn't. We deserve to find the love that's meant to stay.
