Letting Go

The hardest part of relationships is letting go

The hardest part of relationships is when you have to let go.

Drifting apart from a friend,

Losing a loved one,

Breaking up with a significant other.

The hardest part is letting go.

How do you adjust to their absence?

How do you not feel that they are gone?

How do you accept that, and then start to move on?

Everyone goes at their own pace,

Everyone takes a different amount of time,

But it never gets easier,

No matter how many times you have to let go of something you once called "mine."

The hardest pain to heal is when a strong bond is severed,

Bus as they say, nothing perfect lasts forever.
