Letting Go...

I made a choice and I'm sticking with it.
But...that doesn't mean I have to like it.
Letting go of something you've held so dear
is never easy. It is a choice that comes with
much heartache and sadness.
There comes a time in life when you simply have to
let go...when the only choice is to move on.
I am feeling a pain so deep that I don't know
whether I should regret what I did but,
when I remember how easily you moved on I have to
tell myself over and over again that I made the right choice.
You created a distance that belied all that you've said.
I have held on for so long to something I thought was real.
Now only to realize that I was holding on to nothing but
empty promises and shattered dreams.
There is bitterness in my words I know.
But I'm hurting...in pain...feeling a loss
that words cannot describe...
But I must be strong...
There is a saying..."Time heals all wounds".
I believe in this, I must believe in this.
I believe that I will survive, to one day wake up
being able to put this all behind me and move on.
I made a choice and I'm sticking with it...
but I don't have to like it....at least for now.

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another.
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely.It might spoil the dream.
Love is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you, to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. You want him nearer. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says "We must get married right away! I can't risk losing him!"
Love says "Be patient. Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will admit it is difficult to be in each other's company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy.
Love is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence.When he's away, you wonder if he's cheating. Sometimes you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure, and unthreatened. He feels that trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will.
Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.
