Letting Go of Someone You Love: A Goodbye Letter

I wish we weren’t where we are, but we’ve tried everything.

Working through things, compromising, changing..we’ve fought so much that I don’t even know what we were fighting for.

I’m weary- so far beyond exhausted and I can’t do this anymore.

So, I know you expected a fight when you called and started in on me, but I just can’t- I have nothing left.

I’m done.

I’ve got nothing left to fight with you anymore.

So, the best I can give you is my silence.

There’s no more working through things, hashing things out or trying to figure it out.

We’ve done our best and sometimes, you just have to realize that it’s not meant to be..

And that’s where I am.

I will always care about you and you’ll have a special place in my heart, but that’s where you belong- my heart- not my life.

I’m walking away knowing we’ve done all that we could and it wasn’t going to work out, no matter how much we tried..

Sometimes, love alone just isn’t enough.

We were like oil and water, regardless of how hard we loved.

So, my silence isn’t about you or us anymore, it’s about me..

Trying to move on with my dignity and grace, trying to heal from what’s happened, trying to take the time to stop and make the changes I need to start finding my happiness again.

I realize you may never understand and you’ll chase me for a while, but sooner or later, you’ll get it and maybe even agree it was for the best.

There’s no right or wrong answers, just my heart trying to do the best thing for me.

It’s hard,

It hurts,

But it’s the right choice for both of us.

So, when I don’t answer you or you don’t hear from me anymore, know that this is the end of the road.

I’m telling you now and I hope for once, you actually listen to me..it’s over.

It’s one of the hardest things to do – letting go of someone you care about, but it’s what needs to happen for us to both be happy again.

Maybe you’ll understand,

Maybe you won’t.

Either way, one day, I’ll be fine..

I always am.

My silence says everything my words never could..

And now, it’s saying goodbye.
