Sometimes letting some things go is very difficult but also good. The situation will determine whether to actually keep it or let go. How often have you had to cry over that very things that keeps on hurting you the very time you begin to think about them. Life sometimes brings unpleasant situations and instances our way such that you wish those times never come.

I remember the first time I saw her, I was like this lady is pretty but quick tempered and arrogant. She's always saying no to any good suggestions someone raises in a meeting. He suggestions will always condemn that of others. I never wanted to have anything to do with her. Yea I never did but one day I remember her coming to my work place for a service and I had to be the one to attend to her. I welcomed her and asked " how may I help you ?" but she responded with a smile on her issue. We talked for a while and there she goes again with her critiques about people. This time I had concluded that I don't need such a negative energy around me.

But do you know her sister was a very good friend of mine that I really had something for her. I hope you understand what I mean? I had fallen in love with the sister. So as gentle man trying to win a lady's heart, I was ready to do everything for her. We spent so much time together each day after work. I could remember her passing my office on her off days and me also visiting her whenever I close and she was at work. I made my intentions known to her but she said no to me. I could tell she also loved me back or should I say like? At some point she decided to further her education so I had to help her fill her forms on line and submit. She gained admission and left.

At the initial stages we talked whenever she had no lectures and I'm free but all these started fading away. I call she wasn't picking neither was she returning my calls. Later I realized that I was only used as a means to an end. Just a pathway I was to her. Finally I had to Just Let Go all that we had created together. The beautiful memories and time shared together. I could remember one of the days I had returned from a month training and upon see each other, we just stayed with each other the whole day. We wished we could spend the night even together but we weren't permitted by culture. All these I Just had to let Go. Very painful but was needful if I needed to move on and have freedom from the pains.

One of the days after escorting her to the house I met her sister (the quick tempered fellow) who was sitting down quietly listening to her music on the radio. She was soo quiet I could feel she was going through some pains but kept it to her self. So one of these days I happen to pass by her office and we started talking about life and she was like she's mostly judge wrongly because of the temperament she has. There I thought to my self that I had to have a factory reset of the perception I had about her. Gradually we became best of friends where we shared our problems together to find solutions to them. Time passed I realized that our friendship grew stronger and fun. We always walked home together after work. She would cook and bring me some at work. It was really fun being together. There were times we had our fights but always had a way to solve them.

Our friendship grew stronger and it looked like I was the only one who could understand her. There were times she get soo angry that I was the only one that could calm her down. She loved me and I also loved her. Yes we had fallen in love with each other so we started planning towards the future of getting married to each other. We had good plans. Yes really good ones...
