To love harder or to let go

Does it have to be one or the other?

Why not both? 

Why not neither?

•

Sometimes to love is to let go

Letting go can be freeing

Letting go can be hard

Why does it have to be this way?

•

What if I change “this way?”

What if I let others come to me

The way that I used to come to them

Embrace with open arms when ready 

•

Maybe I’ll try that

Because loving harder hurts me

Because letting go hurts others

And I want everyone to win
