Imagine a perfect relationship. A relationship full of love, passion, respect, tolerance, understanding. Imagine that you wake up to sweet good mornings and go to bed after a good night kiss. Every single day.
Imagine that a simple smile of the person you love is brightening up your day. And the way they look at you takes your breath away. And the soft touch of their hands makes you realize that they will never let you fall.
Imagine that you have someone who you would like to share hard times with. Someone you want to have beside you in a storm. Someone, who you know won’t let you down, won’t betray your trust. Someone who knows who you are, accepts all your faults and loves you anyway. Someone who sees your heart and touches your soul.
Have you imagined all this? Have you really seen the unalloyed happiness? Have you witnessed this kind of beautiful love?
Now imagine that there is no ‘happily ever after’. There is no future. There is no eternal bliss. There is nothing. Only emptiness.
Because this perfect relationship has to end. Because due to circumstances no matter how great and awesome and wonderful and amazing and true your love is, one day you will have to let go. Because there are things you can’t control. Because life has its own rules. And because you can’t win all the games. And because of all this one fine day you have to let go of something so perfect, something so real. You have to let go of your dream.
Because at some point you can’t afford having a relationship which leads you nowhere. At some point you need to settle down and move on. No matter how big your love is. No matter how happy you are.
At some point you’ve got to take this decision and accept that fairy tales don’t always have happy endings. And yours is just one of them.
But how do you do this? How do you end something which makes you happy? Which makes both of you happy. How do you let go of something which makes you smile, something which makes you live, something which makes you dream.
It is like heart surgery.But the heart is yours.
And the surgeon is you.
And the outcome is unpredictable.
