Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the
person we love, we fail to recognize and
appreciate the people who love us. We miss out
on so many
beautiful things and simply because we allow
ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish
concerns. Go for the man of deeds and not for the
man of
words, for you will find rewarding happiness not
with the man you love but the man whom loves you
more.

The best lovers are those who are capable of
loving from a distance, far enough to allow the
other person to grow, but never too far to feel the
love deep within your being. To let go of someone
doesn’t mean you have to stop loving, it only
means that you allow that person to find his own
happiness without expecting him to come back.
Letting go is not just setting the other person free
but it is also setting yourself free from all
bitterness, hatred, and anger that you keep in your
heart.

Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength
and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to
dishearten you, but rather let you grow with
wisdom in bearing it. You may found peace in just
loving someone from a distance not expecting
anything in return. But be careful, for this can
sustain life but can never give enough room for us
to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful
memories of the past but real peace and
happiness come only with open acceptance of
what reality is today.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance
upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just
find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that
person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our
everyday lives and eventually consumes our
thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we
begin to realize that this person feels nothing more
for us than just a friendship… don’t be so bitter
about it! For it is a kind of FRIENDSHIP that will
last for a LIFETIME!!! We start our desperate
attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end
our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up
being sorry for ourselves.

You don’t have to forget someone you love. What
you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of
reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.
Believe me, you would be better off giving that
dedication and love to someone more deserving.
Don’t let your heart run your life, be sensible, and
let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to
your feelings but to reason as well.

Always remember that if you lose someone today,
it means that someone better is coming tomorrow:
If you lose love that doesn’t mean that you failed in
love. Cry, if you have to, but make sure that the
tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that
the past has left with you.
Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back
to you.

And when it does, pray that it may be the love that
will stay and last a lifetime. “When I lost you, I was
the one who loved you most, but between us you
lost more. For someday I can love someone the
way that I loved you but you will never be loved
again the way that I did.”
