When It Comes Back, You'll Know

We've all heard the phrase

When you love someone, let them go. If they come back, you'll know. It was meant to be.

Letting go truly sucked. I didn't know if it was love. I didn't know if I wanted him. I didn't know much. I kept reading sayings like, "It's better to be alone and be lonely, then be lonely with someone".  I decided to let him go.  He had to go get his life in order and I needed to do the same.

Just over a month ago, he moved me from a bad situation.  As we rode along, we had a very good talk but we still weren't at the place to be together. We both knew it and could feel it. We went our ways. Settled into our lives.

Things are starting to change. We spend time together. Our time is positive and passionate. The spark that initially drew us together is back working it's magic. He has some things to work on and he knows it. I have more settling in and soul searching to do.

Maybe it's true, you do have to let go to know what you had. I know we value each other much more now, then we had for a long time. Time will tell our future but at least we've started and can make parenting choices together in an adult manner. We know we can talk without other people pushing opinions on us.  That's a great feeling to know that we can talk. A lot of hope for the future but for now, it's one day at a time.
