I had a friend who had a friend who let go of the girl he loved with everything he had inside of him. She was his best friend. They were apart for six months when he saw her again. He was ready to tell her he was madly in love with her and he couldn't live without her, that every single day without her in his life was Hell for him. But instead of a very happy ending, what he got was that she showed him an engagement ring given to her by her boyfriend of three months. He couldn't believe it. He was friends with her for over six years, and then she got engaged with someone, because he couldn't tell her how he felt about her. When he met the guy he was instantly jealous of him. But then he got to know him better and he saw he was a really great guy, just the kind of guy she deserved to be with. He wanted her to be happy, and so he decided not to do anything to break them apart. But then one day, when everyone was outside doing their things, she and he went out on a short walk so they could re-awaken their six year old friendship. They went to this place in the open field and just sat and talked for around two hours. It felt so natural to talk to her for such a long time. After they were done talking she slipped on a rock, and she was falling down and he grabbed her by the hips. She called him her lifeguard, and they met face to face, and he couldn't resist and so he kissed her. And she returned the kiss. They broke it, and they were silent the whole way back. The day of the wedding came and she was in church ready to get married. Right before she said 'I do' to the other guy, she actually hesitated. She hesitated because she wanted him to say something to stop the wedding. He wasn't courageous enough. The wedding happened and she was married to that guy. He left and returned back home. About six months later this guy she got married to almost beat her to death, because he found a diary she was writing in private with entries meant for that guy. Every entry had the 'I love YOU' in it. Well, as soon as he learnt from her sister of what happened, he flew the first flight he could and came to the hospital. She didn't make it. And then her sister told him about something her sister was supposedly writing, and he chose to learn about it. About a week later her sister made sure he got his hands on it, and he read over sixty-seven entries she wrote to him, entries that were meant for him. He shouldn't let her go and yet he did, because he was foolish, because he thought the other guy was more deserving of her than he was. If he actually said something at her wedding, she would be his. It's important to know that letting go is not the answer to any question or a solution to any problem. If she is meant for you or if he is meant for you and you can feel that, you have to do something about it. All it takes is courage to say those three words, because the chances are they feel the same and they are as terrified of your reaction as you are terrified of their reaction. You can't let them go, because letting go is the worst mistake in your life you can make. They don't always return, because they can meet someone else who reminds them of you, and see them as an alternative to you. So fight for that damn love you feel. Don't be scared of something as beautiful. Blessings
