Walking out of the tunnel

I ended the whole saga once and for all. I cut all links with J. I still have feelings and emotions, but I came to the conclusion that if I liked somebody, I have to learn to let go of the person, regardless of how much the person hates me. I feel lighter now, knowing that no matter what I do, wouldn't change a thing. The only part I never liked about this saga, was that we met as strangers and we parted as strangers. There was animosity involved, there was some bruised pride and there were deep regrets. These will ebb through the tides of time, but they will never vanish. It is perhaps, a reminder of what I should not do in the future. I have lost some, I have gained some. But whatever it was, I closed the book for myself. If you are not the reason for somebody to smile, then I guess it's time for you to make yourself scarce, for that person will never have a reason to give you her smile.
