Sometimes, knowing when to let go is just as important as knowing when to hold tight.

Don't hold on too long, to which does not belong. Don't shed a tear, for all the pain that's gone. Create a new, from the wisdom of the past. Open your heart wider, as storms do not last.

Sometimes when things break, you can hold them together for a while with string or glue or tape. Sometimes, nothing will hold what’s broken, and the pieces fly all over, and though you think you might be able to find them all again, one or two will always be missing.

You can't hold on to all things forever, no matter how hard you grip them.

Memories were fine but you couldn't touch them, smell them or hold them. They were never exactly as the moment was, and they faded with time.

It is strange how we hold on to the pieces of the past while we wait for our futures.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.

Weakness is like love, hold it close to your heart and only show it to those who will protect and cherish it.
