To Let Go Of You
Sunday, September 19, 2010

You asked; what would I do if you were to leave me one day. I replied; I don't know; but I could only promise you that I would not hold you back and let you fly in search of your next true happiness. You looked at me; hugged me firmer than you ever did. That moment; I knew I would have to break my promise. Sorry.

-Poon T.-
I think this is a dam awesome and meaningful quote. It kinda speaks of a sacrificial love yet undying. Quite a deep essence of love I feel.

Sparked off from a simple idea of how one thinks he has to let go no matter what, yet fails to when the moment comes

But I kinda like understanding the deeper meaning behind it. An act of love to sacrifice one's self, one's right to happiness and everything people would have fight to achieve, for another that you so deeply love, in an unpossessive manner.

Here, the author writes of his lover wanting to move on, in search of true happiness, facing the rejection of the one he loves who once belonged to him, cuts himself away from his emotions and affections, putting his love beyond himself, ultimately denying himself his own rights, allowing her freedom from his heart.

In response, his partner hugs him, a physical expression of affection in gratitude, and a reaction sparks off inside his heart. The chains binding away his selfish love for her is instinctively set free to love once again. A selfish love that desires to ignore everything and to fully love another in an embracing and flooding manner. A love that goes beyond himself, his failures and incapabilities and out from the depths of one heart.

The phrase "would have" signifies that unresistable urge of love overpowering him once again. It wasn't a "might have" but a definitive will to do something. A love that's undying, even if sealed away to the abyss of one's void.

Yea, I couldn't help it, I just felt a lot of meaning into it, a deeper essence of love most people would accuse me of thinking too much. It's just different perspectives I guess. I find the beauty behind the actions, the essence of love.
