have you ever told this to someone at any point of your life?
whether you said it directly to him/her or just in your mind...
and why did you come out with such a decision of letting them go even you love them?
well, i think i have experienced it once...huh! that i have said to someone that i'm letting him go not because i don't love him but because that is the right thing to do and what is best for him...coz i'm not the one he needed...hehe (just like in the song)
so have you? ever let go of someone even if you still love them? or if not, are you willing to do it just in case?
thanks for sharing...

I feel blue when i read this one. It came to a point that me and my partner had a problem and i can't bare it anymore or maybe i was just to weak to handle the situation. I said it more than once but after a few hours,days or week of silence I asked forgiveness for saying those words that I don't mean. Those words that so hard to utter but because of the instances and pain I felt I said it without weighing things.
Now, I am much careful because i don't want to feel that pain again, the pain of letting go...

hello simone...
good to see you here...
yes that's true, when we are being emotional, usually we say words without thinking & without knowing that it hurts not only our partners but most specially we are hurting ourselves...
but as much as possible, if there's anything that you can still do to survive the relationship, don't say these words unless you are really sure & feel that you can really live the pain that you will feel after letting him go...for all we know, letting go is never easy...

hehe...that's also what i am trying to do when my husband & i are fighting...i make the best effort not to talk much...haha less talk less fight...and of course it will keep us away from saying words that we may regret in the future...
being away? hmmm are you in a long distance relationship now?

Those moments when i said goodbye was a nightmare for me. Yes, you're right i should be more sensitive in saying those words and be strong enough to stand the pain. When we fought i just zip my mouth to avoid goodbyes, goodbyes that i really don't mean. I think being away is one of the reason that triggers me in saying goodbye.

hey hey!!
Isn't that just like what i have gone thru?? haha =D Well, i have experienced it before, and it's definitely not easy.. For, nobody will wanna let go of their loved ones, especially when we have a choice.. BUt most of the time, the choice does not lie in us, but them.. It all depends on the way, we want them to be happy..
Saying goodbye might not be a bad thing, as temporary seperation allows both parties to think clearly about things.. Because time is a weird factor, which can pull 2 closer together, as well as push 2 further away from each other ^_^

If the other party does not want me to go, i shall not go.. lol =D BUt i will make sure she will be happy with my decision.. As sometimes, there will be ple, whom place others on top of themselves, when it comes to love.. Thus, it needs to have certain level of understanding, to know what she really wants, and needs from me, by asking me not to leave.. hehe ^_^

you will not go? but what if the situation don't permits you to stay? haha even if you like to?
and how can you make her happy with whatever decision you will make?
can you still stay with her even if you know that you will be hurting someone more? and staying with her will just make the situation worst?
oops , sorry for many questions...hehe you might get irritated...

hehe...i know it does happen to you, that's why i expected you to be here...
but what if, the choice is with you? i mean, the other one don't want you to go but you have decided to leave because that's what you think is the right thing to do?
time & distance i guess are factors in determining whether that temporary goodbye will become permanent, hehe or will it strengthen or weaken the relationship...huh!

Sounds a bit cruel isn't it? It is better to let go of the person you love to make him realize that you love him and that because of his unfavorable actions that caused you to carry the heavy emotional baggage. I am sure this sacrifice you made will make him surrender to any other love fantasies that he is having outside. The popular saying..'If you love him let him go if he comes back he is yours and if he doesn't he is never yours to begin with.

Sometimes we need to take a breather, to create a space of our own, free from the dramatic world of love life, then by all means retreat to your shell and discover the beautiful world within yourself. It is never goodbye but only see you later. If you both are fated, nothing can stop you from being together again sooner or later.

hello zandi...well somehow, love is indeed cruel at sometime...huh!
its just sad that sometimes, one must lose something to realize its importance in their life...yeah.
but what if the situation is different? like, he's not doing anything wrong, he actually wants to keep you, but the problem lies on your part? that you know that even how much you love him, you have to let him go, you have to leave him even how much it hurts coz that's the right thing for you to do & that's what the situation calls?
thanks...

I have always believed in the saying along the lines of if you love someone, to also be willing to let him or her go. Sometimes things in life work out to be what we eventually didn't want to, but once it has happened, it happens and so, that's it. No matter how much we love someone, we have to go through the aftermath, and I speak from my own experience too. It's not good to always think about the old things, why it became like that and all, and it's best to move on with the present and then, the future..

hi zed!
but what if, the other one still wants to be with you & its only you who wants to go, not because you don't love them but because you feel that that's the right thing to do? will have the courage to say?
well, yes, the consequences with our act is always there, and we must be strong for this and ready to accept whatever happens as a result...
and yes, moving on is the best thing to do and leave everything behind...

hey, ck, is that the song of Celine Dion or Nina? How many times did you say that..huh..???
well..i never say that word before, but i do say good bye most of the times..lol.. and I am guilty of that...
well..I could say only i love you.. many times but not good bye..very confusing..isn't it??
i love you goodbye for me means having to love someone then have to let him go even it is painful because the situation is not favorable..
on my part I am going to say it when time comes and it is better than keeping a person hang on air when in fact he have nothing to get from you..so far saying those words is like saying to be true to yourself...than holding on when it is impossible as when you never says those word it going to hurt you and not only yourself but the other party involves..th word is a sort of REAWAKENING fro me....

Yes, I did experience that twice in this lifetime.
It's difficult to pursue a feeling that isn't equally shared by both. It was not just painful for me, but it has affected my life so much. I decided to let him know how I felt before finally saying goodbye.
Of the two people I have said those words, one has come back while the other moved forward. The other I talked for several times after the incident and he totally told me that when I do decide to move on, I really do it, which actually impressed him, but he said he was said that I had totally said goodbye.
The other one is my 'someone' in my life right now and I'm glad I told him goodbye to make him realize it's time for him to grow up!

with the other guy, well didn't he do something to win you back? or he just accept it easily?

or is he not willing to fight for you? In my case, i have also experience this,
mine is different, she is in a relationship and i am also in a relationship, we
love each other but we do not know how are we going to leave both our partners,we
also love our partners. as of now, we don't have any contacts already, we decided
just to separate and as far as i know she is already contented with the
relationship she have now.

coz there are still so many other factors around that we know that will be affected if we push what we want... and we should not be selfish just thinking about ourselves & not minding if we gonna hurt more people around us...
that's always the most difficult situation, when we fall in love to someone when we are still in a relationship...*sigh*
well, i guess, he's also leading a good life now & same with me...

feel that way, but as others say, whatever happen, if you are really meant to be

I think that loving truly doesn't mean one has to let go and say good-bye. Loving means working it out with your loved one no matter what. If the decision to say good-bye was because of some inappropriate relationship or some legal matter, then the initial loving was not supposed to have taken place. The decision here was the correct thing to do because nothing good will come out of the relationship.

hello miss eileen!
yeah i think so, but there are times that we need to come out with such a decision due to some circumstances...and sometimes, even if we know that we are not suppose to fall for them in the first place, the heart is just so stubborn & difficult to control...before we know it, we are already in this difficult situation where you need to choose & make a decision...yes, decision to correct things & look forward for a better result...

hello ckyera,
well, it was hard at first but after not talking to her for a long time i realized i made the right decision. probably it was for the best because she had a lot of things in her things in her mind and i don't want to be part of her burden. it's hard when she thinks or her family, job and me. but i felt that i wasn't necessary for her because she's doing quite well.

If it was me I wouldn't let go. I know I'm a burden but at least I can be there for her whenever she needs me. I'll only let go if she gets tired and decides not to love me anymore. As long as there is love I wouldn't give up and see what I can do to mend and bring back things as to how they were before. That's just me, I don't intend to make you regret your decision

I don't feel the passion of love and then I ask him if he is liking somebody and he told me yes so I let go though it is very painful.I really need to.

IT'S ALWAYS HARD SAYING GOOD Byes...
i have already passed experiences of saying goodbyes, and I realize there is even "no good goodbyes," because there is always somebody who gets hurt...Huh... And there is a lot of times when you let them go even if you still love them. There will always come to the point when you just realize, Do you really LOVE because you needed more than you wanted him/her, or Do you wanted more than you needed Him/her???
I really wanted to share some of these....

Sometimes, there are things that happen for a reason. God gives the right person that would fit for you. Maybe, that someone you once loved is not the right person. Although, you really feel that love for him. Just as the song goes, "I'm not the one you needed, I love you, goodbye."

Love is without conditions. That means if someone you love wants to go his/her own way, then be it. Love means doing what you think is best. One does not control the mind and body of the person one loves.

Before I met my husband I was in a relationship and I thought that I loved the person a lot. I went away out of town on holiday and when I called to tell that person that I loved them, his phone was anwered by another women. I knew then that he was cheating on me. I hung up the phone and decided to deal with it when I got back in town. When I got there I walked up to his door and knocked, when he answered I gave him a box of his things, including things that he had given me. I then told him that I loved him, but that we were finished because it was obvious that he wasn't in the same place as me. He then told me that he loved me too and that we could work things out. I then told him that while I might love him, I was no longer in love with him and that his cheating had destroyed any chance at finding out just what he had. A while later I met my husband and fell maddly in love. I know now that until I met my husband, I was just cruching and that I had no idea what love was. Now I know and I have to say that I am very happy with the way things turned out because if I hadn't let the cheating guy go, I never would have found my soulmate and we wouldn't be happily married 12 years later.

for the sake of my mothers peace of mind..
and i think its for the best of us..
though moving on is so hard to do..
but i have too say ..sometimes when i see him..its like questioning myself..
"have i moved on"...??heheheh!
silly but true..a heart cant easily forgets someone, most specially his one great person who changed you for good..the one who picks you up when your down..
the one who is eager to sacrifice for you happiness..
the one who aches so much and leave it all behind for you to be happy..
to forget the past but to see his love once again aches his heart again..
see how cruel love is .. but in the end happiness will always remain..
even though the heart aches many times love will never stop beating weather its wrong or right in the eyes of the others..
but just remember love has its perfect timing and that's what you called destiny..
there's no forbidden things when it comes to love..

Hello,
I am saying these words to a person right now. She has been very special to me and I am her beloved as well. I also think, she is not only the best girl but one of the most good human beings I've ever met. But for some reasons we can't stay together and we are both aware of this. So we are in a process as mentioned by you. The departing words, they hurt, but sometimes you have to take firm decisions going beyond the individual necessity and considering the future.
God bless you all

Yes, by God's grace we will. I am not worrying about myself. I am strong enough to deal with a situation like this. But I don't think she can. Even if she gets through, this is going to leave a permanent setback in her mind. Of course, time will change almost everything. It always does. Thanks once again for being so kind.
Take care
