the importance of saying goodbye

Early this morning i receive a text from a friend " tingnan mo Pre, mas madali ang closure kapag nag-goodbye ka". I just smile and thinks of it… Before I always want to talk to my "ex" and tell him the words that I did not said, tell him what I felt after He left me. I want to say Goodbye because I believe that I have to…, that Goodbye can set me free from the bitterness and the pain that he gave.

And now I realized we said Goodbye a million times, but we always end up together until the time comes that we really have to take a separate ways. He have to go on his own and I have to take my own road. Without saying goodbye… we just have to accept the present situation. Without the formal talk on how about us… what about us. Because that time there’s no such thing as US.. but me and you.

Time passes  by and I still dream that one day we can talk about it.. we can settled things out.. not to disturb him and be with me again. All i want is for him to know what i really felt when i loose him. Most of my friends ask me… what for? He has his own life… No need to settled the issue. You can make it on your own. I don’t believe on it. I still want to talk to my "ex". But until now it didn’t happen.

But wait.. we don’t have a formal goodbyes..! And here I am I move on my own. I just said goodbye on my own.. let go of the pain and the bitterness inside me.  Accept the reality that things change and  I can’t bring back  the past.. all I have to do is to enjoy the present and believe that there’s a better days ahead of me.

I don’t say that we don’t have to say goodbye to the one we love when we have to let him go… we still need it and it is important but we have to have a consideration..
* is he/she is not ready to talk to you and settled things out.. what if he’s still love you but the situation and time is not right… and it will be more complicated.
* do you really have to say goodbye… or you just have to accept the fact that he/she is gone.

guys.. saying goodbye is the saddest and hardest word to say.. but it will set us free.. if we really accept that it is over. But then, if someone says goodbye but you don’t want to accept it.. you will remain in the bitterness and pain. Because you will still hope that one day you will be with each other arms again. (admit it guys)

When you say goodbye, you have to mean it. You have to let go all the emotions in you, whether it’s hate or resentment. You have to be ready for the consequences in simply accepting the truth. You cannot complain because you have already subjected yourself to this. Now, it’s either you move on with your life, live with the pain until it heals. OR you can always look back, feel the undending pain until you lose respect for the person you love as well as for yourself.

In the end, people are meant to swallow and digest their pride. Time will pass, everything around you will change but harboring a even a pint feeling after you say goodbye cannot mend a a broken heart. Life will go on so do you.
