What you need

“So i'll let you go / I'll set you free / And when you see what you need to see / When you find you come back to me"? – David Cook

Sometimes the hardest thing for us to accept is that sometimes you actually do have to let someone go if you ever hope to have a chance to be together.

Sometimes you really do have to let go if there is any chance of the two of you working in the future. 

Not everyone you meet is ready for a relationship. Not everyone you fall in love with is at the same place as you mentally and emotionally. Not everyone is going to be ready to give you the kind of love that you need.

This doesn’t always mean it’s the end. It doesn’t mean that the love isn’t there anymore. It simply means that you have to let this person go. You have to let them go so that they can find themselves.

You have to let them go so they can learn to live without you. You have to let them go so they can learn what they want, what they need and how to give it back in return.

Maybe they have demons they need to fight. Maybe they have battles they need to overcome. Regardless of what, letting go of someone doesn’t mean the end, it doesn’t mean that this chapter is closed.

What it does mean is that the timing isn’t right. What it does mean is that you need to take a step back and love them afar. Just because you cant be in their daily life right now, doesn’t mean it will be that way forever.

It just has to be this way right now. For very good reasons, it has to be.
