I love you, but I should let you go.

My heart beats for you

By AjayPublished 9 days ago 3 min read

"My heart beats for you, my soul longs for your presence, and my mind is consumed by thoughts of our memories together. Yet, I know that our love has reached its expiration date. It's time for me to acknowledge the painful truth - our relationship has become a burden, a weight that's suffocating the life out of me.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time and relive the moments we shared, the laughter, the adventures, and the quiet moments of intimacy. Your smile was my sunshine, your embrace my safe haven, and your love my guiding light. But, alas, life has taken us down different paths, and our love has become a distant memory, a bittersweet reminder of what could have been.

I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. Our eyes locked, and our hearts collided. It was as if the universe had conspired to bring us together. We were two souls on fire, burning with passion, desire, and dreams. We chased the sunsets, danced under the stars, and made promises that we swore would last a lifetime.

But, life had other plans. The tides of fate swept us apart, and we found ourselves struggling to stay afloat. We clung to each other, desperate to hold on to the love we once shared. Yet, with each passing day, our grip grew weaker, our love grew colder, and our hearts grew heavier.

I know that I should let you go, that I should release the memories, the tears, and the longing. But, oh, how I struggle to surrender. My mind is a battlefield, torn between the love I still feel and the pain that I can no longer bear. My heart is a heavy burden, weighed down by the memories of our laughter, our tears, and our whispers in the dead of night.

Yet, I know that I must find the strength to let you go. I must learn to love myself, to heal my wounds, and to rediscover my purpose. I must learn to embrace the beauty of our memories without being held captive by them. I must learn to love you from a distance, to cherish the love we shared without suffocating myself with longing.

As I walk through the ruins of our relationship, I am reminded of the moments that made our love so special. I remember the way you made me laugh, the way you challenged me to be my best self, and the way you held me when I needed comfort. I remember the way we explored new places together, the way we tried new things, and the way we grew together.

But, I also remember the tears, the fights, and the silences that grew longer and longer. I remember the way we hurt each other, the way we failed to communicate, and the way we slowly drifted apart. I remember the way our love became a burden, a weight that we could no longer carry.

As I reflect on our love story, I am reminded of the beauty and the brutality of the human heart. I am reminded that love is a risk, a gamble that we take with our hearts and our souls. I am reminded that love can bring us great joy, but also great pain. And I am reminded that sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to let go of the love that we once shared.

But, I know that I must let you go. I must release the memories, the tears, and the longing. I must surrender to the pain and the heartache, and I must trust that I will emerge stronger and wiser on the other side. I must learn to love myself, to heal my wounds, and to rediscover my purpose.

As I say goodbye to our love, I am filled with a mix of emotions. I am filled with sadness, grief, and regret. But, I am also filled with hope, hope that I will find love again, hope that I will learn to love myself, and hope that I will emerge from this heartache a stronger and wiser person.

So, farewell, my love. May our memories be a blessing, and may our love be a lesson in the beauty and the brutality of the human heart. May I learn to love again, may I learn to love myself, and may I always cherish the love that we shared, no matter how brief and fleeting it may have been."
