true love.

"You must understand that love never keeps a man from

pursuing his destiny.  If he abandons that pursuit,

it's because it wasn't true love ..."

(The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho)

I do believe in letting go.  My grandma always tells me that if two people are meant to be, they will be.  No matter the distance.  No matter the time.  So, don't be afraid to let go.   

And I've always heeded that.  

But it's definitely hard when we find that it wasn't true love.  That the person we let go never returned, and instead fell into the arms of another.  But again, if that's the case, then it wasn't meant to be.  Right?  

So, I still believe in letting go.  Like what the alchemist told the boy:

"Don't think about what you've left behind."

...

"If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil.

And one can always come back.  If what you had found was

only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you

would find nothing on your return."

The man was speaking the language of alchemy.

But the boy knew that he was referring to Fatima.
