Letting Go

Jordin Sparks – Tattoo

No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later I get what I’m asking for

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger I gotta let my spirit be free
To admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind

I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I’ve done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you (I’ll always have you)

Sick of playing all of these games
It’s not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror didn’t deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I’ve gotta be strong and leave you behind

If I live every moment
Won’t change any moment
There’s still a part of me in you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do, oh

It’s an old song (well, not that old, and not that new as well :P ), sang by Jordin Sparks. I love the lyrics + music + Jordin’s voice in that song.

Somehow the lyrics touches my heart and reminded me of a small fragment of my past – which is about being hurt but still going strong for the loved ones. But after a while, I realized that I wasn’t that strong enough :snide: I decided to pull myself back and be gone forever. Some people might say giving up is just an action of weakness. But have you ever thought of it as giving in for the good. I think of it that way. Good for myself, good for the other as well. I must admit, I’m a very sentimental and sensitive kind of person :)

Sometimes you just can’t get everything you wanted. You need to let go of something to earn something much more important in life :angel: But many people don’t earn it because they are too busy grieving on things they have lost or too busy trying hard to earn or be part of something they don’t belong. Well… I used to be one of them.

But letting go isn’t that easy to do. It takes a lot of inner strength, courage and love in able to do so. I found this very lovely poem about ‘letting go’;

To let go does not mean to stop caring,
   it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
   it’s the realization I can’t control another.
To let go is not to enable,
   but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
   the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
   it’s to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for,
   but to care about.
To let go is not to fix,
   but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
   but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
   but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
   it’s to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny,
   but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
   but instead to search out my own shortcomings
   and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
   but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody,

   but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past,
   but to grow and live for the future.

To let go is to fear less and love more
   Remember: The time to love is short

How to overcome the heart ache? All you need is some patience and a little effort to let go of that fragment of past. Move on. And then, time will heal everything. That’s all ;)
