We give up many times because letting go seems the right thing to do
--- Atomic Symphony
If you were me, would you let go or would you hold on?
They say love is patient, love is kind. Love perseveres.
So if it's true love, I wouldn't let go. I'll wait, even if it makes no sense for me to wait, even if he doesn't want me to wait, even if he doesn't know I'm waiting. Simply because I have this conviction within me, because I need to know for myself what I'm capable of doing with this love; simply because this was what I wanted most out of this life - to experience love for what it truly is. And maybe, love means waiting. And patience. Holding out and holding on.
Or is it letting go that truly defines love? Some say that if you love someone, you'll let the person go, as long as he's happy. Yes, maybe that means I'll let him go physically, but this love, it'll stay with me, we'll be entwined within each other and I'll never let it go. Because by letting go, am I belittling this powerful thing that I have within me? Am I belittling this love, and what it's capable of giving?
Jesus taught me that love means sacrifice. That's the only lesson I choose to believe up till today.
I still have not decided.

"we can't choose where we love"
or when we love. i don't think it's up to us to hold on or let go.
love is there. or isn't. the irony of trying to forget is that the consciousness of the effort simply leaves a more indelible mark.
