letting go of the rope


a friend in the office once asked me, "why do we have to let go when we can also hold on?"

according to her, its the irony sometimes that we let go when we have already managed to hold on into a situation we are aware of to be so strange from the very beginning?

somewhow, she is right.... but as i write this blog, i have exactly answer of the opposite side.

we hold on into something because we like it.... oftentimes we feel that its good for us and most of the time, we woke up in the morning realizing, the things is the reason for the smile in our lips.

we tend to be so blind indeed. that we never noticed how the green leaves of the trees fall in the ground as autum comes. we always thinks that its the spring time and we just have to accept it that its never good being like that.

for a person like me, who have tried holding on and saving something that i once thought to be worth treasuring.... come now the point of my life when i finally decided to let go of the rope.

why?

because while holding on into something you once held for so LONG is good, when hurting comes into the picture.... pain is apparent and very vivid.... the rope becomes so short and slippery that you dont have any choice but to let go.

its painful specially when the rope have been a part of you. but when changes come, letting go is the best thing to do in order to rebuilt not of the rope but thy hands to hold into something that is worth holding of.

i am indeed letting go of your rope but never the threads that have already created scars in my hand while holding it because no matter how hard i try now, those will always be there to remind me that once in my life, i have found you... i have cared for you and i have loved you to the fullest.


the rope is never small and my hands never slipped away, letting go means no goodbye but its a way of showing how of staying forever.

i let go of you now my love; but now will never let go of you;
i will let go of now; but i will never let of you!
