Letting Go

Things are always changing.1

Sometimes it's good.2

Sometimes it scares the shit out of me.3

I could be change's best friend if I ever let go of things. But I love remembering things, like memories about friends, or guys I fell in love with. I try to let go of things like elementary school and fights I had with my friends... even guys I liked last year are easy to forget. 4

But I'm not talking about last year I'm talking about here and now. Today, not yesterday. And today, I can't let go of one guy that I want to so much because, of all the pain I've been through because of you, and I don't like hurting. So today I'm going to
L E T G O O F H I M.5

Not because I want to, but because I have to. Because if I don't I'll hurt more and more each time I remember him.6

So for my own selfishness I'm letting go of every feeling I ever had for him, EVER. Because I'm selfish, I'm going to forget all the pain you put me through, all the nights I cried myself to sleep. Because someone told me that I didn't deserve the pain, that it was your fault, not mine.7


So here I am on some imaginary cliff standing on the edge, with the wind blowing through my hair and the sea water below me splashing against rocks. But the sea isn't any shade of blue at all, it's BLACK. The sea in my mind is black, charcoal black. And I'm about to jump from that cliff into the black ocean and I'm going to swim away from everything we were or at least everything I thought we were. And I don't care how far I have to swim to get away from you. I'm going to get away. Even if the sea goes on forever, I won't care, as long as I'm away from you.8

I'm letting go of you...
I've let go of you.
But I can't promise that I'll never want you back boy.9

    It is pretty good and a write that sometimes hits home for a lot of people (myself included). There are a few problems but nothing big enough to really care about, except for the 'threw' part. Great write!

    Good,

    "I can't let go of one guy that I want to so much because, of all the pain I've been threw because of you" This sentence could really do without the comma and you used "threw" when you should have used "through". Apart from that, I didn't really spot anything wrong and enjoyed the story. Well done.

    i totally get what you say. I love the ending. nice sign off. Thanks for sharing.

  • AHHH! I already gushed over this in the email, but I thought I'd just add that I LOVE it, and give you a few last edits.

    *So today I'm going to L E T G O O F H I M. < Okay, well, it looks like 'let goof him'. And that's not very romantic, is it? I think the spacing's just messed up. You can fix it.

    *And the way you signed it...like, how you changed "Grace" to "Girl". Idk. It sounds awkward. I mean, the "boy" looks good, but the "girl"...IDK! Maybe..."just another girl" or "me" or something. Ahhh. I dunno.

    *I'm going to forget all the pain you put me threw, < 'threw' should be 'through'.

    But yeah! Great job, even though I've already told you a million times I love it. So, yeah, bye!
