(= Mirage On RElationships +
Love & Lettin’ Go…
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
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 with the man who 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 become 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.
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 it 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.

"And in the end, the love we take
will be equal to the love we make." - The Beatles
