Letting Go!

Why is it so hard to let go? This is a question I wonder on certain situation. Is it the fact that we are hopeful? That we feel there is something there in which we will hate to see someone else have? Thinking that there is really love in such situations. Or are we just lonely, wanting and waiting for something. Not knowing just where its going to come from. So we place hope in this one situation, praying that it becomes right. When in reality we are really praying for something that doesn’t even belong.
