They say it's a choice:
A choice to love.
A choice to let go.
There is no fate or destiny impacting love,
It is solely
Choice.
I made a choice:
To love.
Love you with everything I had.
Through the roughest times in your life,
And through mine.
To love you when I had nothing but hatred for the world around us.
To love you when all I wanted to do was walk away.
To love you when you couldn't love yourself.
I made this choice, and I made it for months.
But there came a month where I chose to let go.
I chose to allow someone else the opportunity to love you.
More than I did and
Better.
I did not choose to stop loving you, that is something one can not do; yet I chose to set you free
From the burden you carried because of me.
I chose to love you from afar,
And that may be the worst choice of all.
