To love is to let go

I wish things were different. I wish love was enough to fix everything, but I've realized that sometimes, loving you means letting you go. As much as I want to hold on, as much as I want to stay by your side, I know deep down that the best thing I can do for both of us is to step back. It's one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but it's because I love you so much that I'm doing this.


You have the right to be happy, to discover what truly makes you whole, even if that road does not include me. I want to be the one to make everything right for you, the one who holds you close through every storm. But I can't keep holding on when I know I'm not what you need right now.


Let me tell you, I've thought about all the moments we shared—how it felt like we were building something unbreakable. I still held on to hope, thinking maybe, if I loved you enough, we could make it. But love doesn't force something to last. Sometimes, love is letting go,even if it breaks your heart.


That's what love is. Now I have to walk away, and I want you to know that my love for you will never fade. But keeping you chained to something that wasn't meant to be is something I can't do to you. You deserve to be free, to find what makes you happiest in this world, even if that journey leads you away from me.


Someday, maybe you will understand that I'm letting you go not because I want to, but because I love you enough to do so. Holding on to you is painful, but I want you to become who you're meant to be. And if that requires letting me go, I'm willing—even if it hurts.


Loving you has been a gift, one I'll carry with me no matter what happens. In the end, the deepest love is sometimes shown in letting someone go, and that's what I'm doing—for both of us.


Letting you go doesn't mean I love you any less—it means I love you enough to set you free, even when every part of me wants to hold on.
