Burn with me tonight...

Before you can live, a part of you has to die. It has to be washed away and never thought of again. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You need to pile all these things up, take a match and light the biggest fire the world has ever seen. You have to accept that you can’t change past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. Sometimes there is no clearer answer than the simple truth that there are certain things that are just not meant to be. When you finally recognize this reality, then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness. You will understand what it means to be alone, and what it means to let go. From that point on, you will finally be free.
