Sometimes, love dies. And there is no easy explanation for it.
Some of us see it coming. Some of us don’t. but most of us try not to see it at all. Because it is easier to pretend that all is well rather than admit that your dreams have been shattered and you are let only with the broken pieces of your heart.
It hurts to imagine the person we love with someone else. It hurts to no longer be the object o his affections. It hurts to no longer be love be the center o his universe. It hurts to no longer be wanted. It hurts to be discarded, replaced and dumped unceremoniously like an old rag that has outlived its usefulness.
It hurts to no longer be loved.
But it happens everyday to the best among us – to the beautiful, the kind, the smart, the successful, the multi-awarded. It happens to the perfect wife, sister, friend and mother. It happens to the civic leader, the CEO, the cover girl.
Whether or not it’s something we did or didn’t do, sometimes love just dies. And over thinking serve no purpose.
To be loved is a blessing. But to no longer be loved is not necessarily a tragedy.
We’ve been raised since childhood to believe that love must last forever. And perhaps it must. But isn’t it possible to simply be happy for the love you have no matter if it doesn’t last forever? Isn’t it possible to simply savor the moment and become richer by it without wanting to possess it forever? Isn’t it possible to love and let go and love again?
Isn’t it possible to love forever but to love different people overtime?
It’s all right to no longer be loved. It’s all right to stop loving. It’s all right to mourn for love’s losses but to condemn yourself to a lie of misery because your love did not last forever is foolhardy. If love must die, let it go peacefully into the night.
But don’t keep score. Love is not a contest. It is not a competition to see who emerges the prettiest, the craftiest or toughest. Love is what it is – a git. It cannot be forced o anyone. Neither can it be forced out of anyone. So let it be.
When love dies, hold on to the memories. But let go of the one you love.

I got this copy from my friend in University of the Philippines College. He gave this to me last year when I was having a hard time in letting go of the one I love. I hope for the people out there who are having a hard time moving on, I hope you got something on this.
