If you love someone, set them free

"If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, it never was yours in the first place."

Have you ever lost a friend? A really good friend? A person whom you've had a ridiculously close relationship with for a long time? It's like half of you is missing, like you aren't complete without that person. That person is gone. He has been since the beginning of January.

I've been keeping myself updated in my close friends life using his blog. Well, EX close friend. He decided that I no longer should be in his life, although I have no idea why. It may have to do with the fact that I didn't approve of the things he did and the decisions he made..but I digress.

I've been reading his blog, and ever since he cut me out of his life, he seems to have been doing better. Maybe I was the one bringing him down? I know that when you cling to a certain past, it can do that.. but I'm not really sure I believe that that's it...

I feel forgotten. This person was once the person I could go to with anything, the person I could trust and not feel judged. Now? I see him in the hallway and either run in the opposite direction OR run past him with my head low. There was once a time where he would have stopped me, when he would have tried to talk to me..Now? He looked through me. As if I was nothing. Maybe I am nothing. To him at least.

Maybe I should be taking the opportunity to find new people, make new friends, cherish the ones I have...instead of missing the ones I no longer have.

Maybe instead of mourning the loss of a friend, I should remember the good times. After all, if you love someone, set them free. Perhaps I should let him be, because if our friendship was meant to be, we'll find each other eventually.
Right?

Peace&Love

  1. Maybe he thought he was just hurting you too often, and stupidly thought letting you go, was best for you. Maybe he never forgot you, and was running away from you when he see's you in the hallways...maybe he misses you everyday, and has hoped you'd reach out to him..cause he was too scared to reach out to you..
