“However much you want to” – therefore its never gentle, at least never for “you.”
Difficult for the “you”, yes. But still the act of letting go gently is better for both parties in the long run.
But I do agree it’s not easy and maybe doesn’t feel gentle to the “you” in the moment. I know I’ve been there.
Wisely said, it is a sign of wisdom and maturity to realize that it is hopeless to try and hold a heart that wants to be free! No matter how much you want it.

I will come check it out now 🙂 🙂
Loved this piece so much! Hit a lot of nerves in this “old heart”. So many emotions in those moments – explosive, angry, hurt, broken, resigned, regret and the sadness of knowing you have to let go. You captured both sides of the emotional coin so well. Bellissimo, Heather Anne.

Oh yes, don’t give up on commercials! An awful lot of stars got noticed in commercials!

Some call it red 
so simple yet powerful:)
thank you 🙂
Is there ever a gentle way to let someone go? If Hallmark movies are any indication, perhaps it’s showing them they weren’t that attached anyway.
Yeah I think you could be right about that
Powerful piece. Says a lot with a little…great words.
thank you 🙂
Intriguing; powerful!

If you could
Ever let someone go gently,
does it mean you are incredibly strong?
Or does it mean,
You never really hold on?
Good question. However much you want to, you can’t hold on to what doesn’t want to stay.
