Letting go Quote by Anonymous
“I promised myself that when it was over, I'd laugh at the memories but here I am without a smile in sight. I promised myself that when it was over, I wouldn't shed a tear but here I am, shirt almost soaked. I promised myself that when it was over, I wouldn't look back. but here I am unable to walk forward. I promised myself I would say goodbye. but here I am, still saying I love you.”
