It Didn’t Work Out

Posted by James Browning on May 4, 2012
Posted in: Romantic Love, Sorrow, The Past. Tagged: failure, heartbreak, love sick.

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together (unknown).  Just like a shattered vase, sometimes relationships are so broken they can’t be pieced back together.  To even try can do more damage.  There is one true constant: everything is impermanent and in time nothing stays the same.  If a relationship works for a while and then fails that does not mean it was a failure.  Saying “it didn’t work out” is untrue.  It simply worked for “its time”. 

Holding onto something that is dying doesn’t keep it alive.
Sometimes you just have to say your goodbyes,

dry your eyes and walk away.
