"Sweetheart, please know that he’s not the person you fell in love with. The boy she’s holding was never the boy you loved. The boy you loved would never lie to you. The boy you loved would never let a day pass knowing that you were upset. The boy you loved would do anything to make you smile. The boy she’s holding hands with lied to you, he was the reason your skies were always grey. The boy you loved doesn’t exist anymore. Let him go, he’s gone."

"I may think of you softly from time to time. But I’ll cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again."

"Letting go is about choices. It’s about choosing to walk away and not look back. It’s about choosing to ignore that phone call, and the next one, and the next. It’s about choosing not to call them back. It’s about choosing to make new memories - dancing to that song in your underwear, and reading your favorite book in that cafe, wearing that dress out and doing something you’ve never done, something that makes you smile. It’s about choosing to move on. Letting go is a process. It’s in your everyday, in the big things and the little things - in starting to run again and buying a different kind of bread, in removing photos from your walls and then painting them purple. There are setbacks, but see, each setback is an opportunity to make your choice again, to acknowledge your own power. And one day, not to long from now, your choices will become habits, the pain will fade and you will be able to look back without the fear of losing your way."

"And I’ve been holding on to a love that never was. How can I mourn a dream that didn’t happen between us?"

"How do you know it’s time to let him go? When you sit there wondering whether or not you should. There comes a time when you must let him go. It doesn’t matter how much you love him, sometimes… just sometimes.. love isn’t enough and baby girl, loving him more than life itself does not mean that he feels anything for you. Maybe you’ll move on or maybe you’ll still love him in a year from now but for now, let him go for he’s everything to you and you’re entertainment to him."
