Letting go

how true this song is...

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

Only need the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

 

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you’re missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

 

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

 

 
 

 Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same old empty feeling in your heart

'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

.

If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief.  You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely.
