They say that when you love someone, you got to let them go. But if this person, this one tiny human, if this whole mess of atoms and kindness is the only source of light in the darkness of your life, uh? They do not tell you how to deal with the dilemma of wanting them to be free and wanting you to be happy. They do not tell you how to deal with a hard day without this laugh, those oh so shiny eyes and that cute ponytail.
The thing is, you cannot hold them in your heart forever. You got to let them go, let them be who they want to be. Because this is so selfish. Oh god, this is so selfish to hold onto someone because they are the air you are gasping for when they are missing. This is so selfish to hold onto the sun of your life when it's going through hell. You can't do that, so you got to let them go. Because at a point, their happiness matters way more than yours. Because they need to be the bright little sun they once were to shine upon other lives.
Because you got to.
