If you love her, set her free

If you love her, set her free... so that she may find the love she desires.

These words from R ring in my head.

Everyone has his/her own image of how his/her love should look like.
C made a conscious decision to leave.

C didn't accept your love, so yours is not the type of love she desires... at least not fully then. Therefore, she has to break up with you to have the chance to find the kind of love she desires.

Maybe she has found it, maybe she hasn't, but this is not part of your story anymore; it's hers. And you are no longer a part of her story.

True love is wishing the best for her. If she has found her love, be happy for her, even if it's not you. Only she can decide what is right for her and what will make her happy.

Closure Letter

Hi KY, I am sorry things ended this way. I appreciate the time and effort you have put into getting to know me and I have enjoyed spending time with you. However, I feel that our connection is not one that would develop into a long-term romantic relationship. 

Please understand that this is not a decision I have come to lightly, and I also hope you don't view this as something negative upon yourself.

Even though we can't be together in the end, I am glad you were part of my life. I am grateful for the joy you brought, the special connection we shared, and the lessons we learnt. The memories we created together will always stay in a special place in my heart.

I am sorry we couldn't make it work, that our paths diverged, that our chance encounter didn't have the ending we both hoped for. But, not all love stories are meant to last forever. Some are fleeting, some are momentary, yet they touch our lives in ways that last a lifetime. 

I am sorry for the tears, for the hurt, for the heartbreak. I wish I could take away the pain, wish I could turn back time, wish things could have been different but life has its own plan, its own course, its own rhythm.

Despite the goodbye, despite the distance, despite the silence, know that you have made an indelible mark on my life and I still care for you albeit in a different way. I will always remember you with fondness, for you brought colour into my world, even if for a short while, and for that I will always be grateful. Wish you all the best and I sincerely hope you find the right person.
