It’s not easy to let go of someone you love. It is filled with many emotions and pain that might make it hard for you to move on.
Sometimes, the most challenging part of letting go is someone’s memories because you do not know what will happen to them afterward. What will happen to them without you? Losing someone you love can be difficult for you to deal with, even if it is the right thing to do.
No matter who it is, letting go of someone you love is never easy. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for 40 years, have been friends for 30 years, or just had a child – letting go of someone you love hurts, and the pain can be hard to overcome.
The best way to do this is to let go of the anger, the anger at the person you are letting go of, and at yourself, for letting the relationship get to this point. The bitterness will eat you away if you don’t let it go and allow yourself to feel the pain. Don’t fear the pain because it’s the only way to heal.
Letting Go Paragraph Messages
Letting go of a past event is among the complex parts of life. In relationships, one party holds on while the other has moved on with life.
Most times, it’s hard to accept that what you once had is currently only memories. That necessitates you to move on and put the memories where they should be (in your heart) and never let them control your life.
1. Hey [name], I am letting you go, but it’s not because I don’t love you. I am letting you go because I know this is the best for us. I will always cherish what we share, and I hope that one day we can find happiness and fulfillment on our paths.
2. Dear [name], I’m glad you’re happy and healthy in your new life. I wish you all the best, you were a big part of my life for so many years, but now it’s time for us to move on and start new chapters in our lives. We’ve shared some unforgettable moments, but I think it’s good for us both to be with other people who can make us happy in ways we couldn’t do any more with each other. It’s been an honor getting to know you over the last few years. Your friendship means more than words can describe. Take care, dear.
3. Hey [name], you were my best friend, and I will miss you every day. I’m unsure how to go without you, but I know I will because that’s my only option, and you would want me to be happy and move on with my life. I love you so much, and I know that even though you are no longer here in physical form, your memories will always stay with me.
4. Hey [name], you have been the best friend I could ever ask for in my entire life. You have been a shoulder to cry on when things were tough and there for me when I needed someone to talk to about my problems. Thank you for being such a fantastic person who cares about others, not only yourself, like some people do these days.
5. Dear [name], I’ll never forget our time together. You were always there for me when I needed someone most, and I wish I could be there for you. You taught me so much about myself and life. Thank you for everything. I can’t repay you for the unquantifiable love.
6. Hi [name], I can’t imagine life without you, but I have to because it’s the only way we’ll be able to keep going forward. I’m letting go so you can find your happiness elsewhere, even if that means it’s not with me anymore. It will hurt me more than it hurts you, but that doesn’t mean you should stay with me for no reason other than pity or guilt. Those aren’t good enough reasons for a relationship to survive long-term.
7. Dear [name], you will always be close to my heart, and I will never forget you, even though we’re apart now. I wish you all the best in life and hope you find true happiness wherever you go. It was good while it lasted, but all good things must end eventually, so I’m letting go of my feelings for you now because it’s time to move on. I wish you nothing but happiness and hope we can remain friends forever.
8. Hi dear, I’m letting go of you because I love you too much to hold on. Even though it hurts like hell, I know that if I don’t do this now, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. So please, take care of yourself and know I will always love you.
9. Dear [name], I know you love me, but I can’t be with someone who doesn’t love themselves first. It’s not your fault. It’s mine. I wasn’t ready for this kind of commitment and responsibility, and now that we’re together, it’s too much for me to handle. I’m so sorry to do this to you. It isn’t working out between us.
10. Hi [name], I know it’s not easy and hurts. But I can’t do this anymore, and neither can you. It’s time for us both to move on, and I hope we can still be friends. I wish nothing but the best for you, and I hope we’ll cross paths again one day. Until then, take care of yourself because I know that’s what you want me to do.
11. Dear [name], I love you, but I must let you go. It’s been wonderful knowing you, but it’s time for me to move on. I’m not saying goodbye forever because I’ll never forget the moments we spent together. But sometimes, in life, we need to take a step back and look at our situation from a new perspective, and that’s what I need to do with our relationship right now. I want you to know that this is not about you. It’s about me and what I want out of life. I hope one day we’ll be able to meet again under better circumstances.
12. Hi [name], I love you, but I must let you go. I know this isn’t how we wanted things to end, but it’s the only way. I can’t keep pretending like everything is okay when it’s not. We need to face our problems head-on and make a change for the better. You’re a great person, and I know that you’re going to find someone who loves you as much as I do.
13. Hi [name], I don’t know what else to say except that I love you, but I must let you go. It’s not easy, and it hurts me a lot, but I hope we will meet one day again and maybe we could be friends.
14. Hello dear, it’s not like I want to leave you, but I know it’s best for both of us. We can’t keep doing this. We’ve been together for a long time, and it’s been amazing, but we need something different now. Don’t worry because you’re going to be okay! You’re going to find a new relationship that will make you happier than I ever could. I know it.
15. Dear [name], I’m sorry it must be this way. I don’t think we’re a good match. It’s not you. It’s me and my inability to commit to a relationship right now. I want what’s best for us, which means ending this before things get too serious, but we can still be friends.
16. Hey [name], I love you, but I must let you go. It’s not because I don’t care about you or because I don’t want to be with you. It’s because I don’t want to hurt you, and if we stay together, that will happen. You’re such a remarkable person, and I hope someone else will come along who deserves to spend their life with you as much as I do.
17. Hey [name], I love you so much, but I can’t be with you anymore. It’s not your fault. It’s mine. Life has been hard for me lately, and I don’t think I can be an ideal partner for you right now. I know this may seem sudden, but I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. Please don’t take it personally or think anything is wrong with you! There isn’t because you’re unique, beautiful, and kind, and anyone would be lucky to have your heart. It’s not the right time for me to be in a relationship with anyone other than myself.
18. Dear [name], I love you, but it will be best to be alone. You are the most beautiful person I’ve ever met. You’re kind and generous, with a smile that could light up the world, but I’m trying to tell you that our relationship has to end. I’ve tried hard to fight it, but it’s not working between us. It will be hard for both of us, but there’s no other way than to tell you that we need some time apart. Maybe when we’re apart, we’ll realize the path ahead, but perhaps we’ll find something better than what we had.
19. Dear [name], I love you but must let you go. You deserve someone who will be there for you, and I’m sorry I’m not that person. I hope we can be friends again someday, but I need some time to myself right now.
20. Hey, I know this is hard, but I want you to know that I love you and always will. I’m sorry for any pain I’ve caused you, and I hope you can forgive me one day for letting you go. I wish you the best of luck on your path to finding fulfillment because you will need it.
21. Hey baby, I love you and always will, but I can’t do this anymore. I need to be my person and live my life on my terms. It’s not that I don’t want us to be together. I do! But I can’t keep waiting for you when it feels like we’re never going to be able to get our act together. I know it hurts now, but it will get better. I promise you that one day soon, the pain will fade away, and all that will be left is the good stuff, happy memories of times we spent together, and the knowledge that we tried everything we could to make things work out for us both as individuals and as a couple.
22. Hi, I’ll never forget the good times we had together, but sometimes, in life, we have to accept that it’s time to move on. I hope you find happiness in your next relationship and that you think of me fondly from time to time.
23. My heart has grown cold and hard, like a rock that doesn’t exist in nature. It’s too big to be floating around in space, so it must have been placed there by aliens. I’m sorry, but I have to let you go. You’re too good for me, honey! I know it hurt, but I must let you go because that’s what’s best for us.
24. Hey [name], I’m sorry I had to leave because I can’t be with someone who doesn’t understand me. Everyone deserves someone who will always be by your side and support them in every way possible. Someone who can help guide them through life’s challenges and celebrate with them when things go right. You’re not the person willing to do whatever it takes to ensure your relationship works out for the long term, and that’s why we need a break from everything.
25. Dear [name], I know this must be hard for both of us, but we deserve a chance at happiness outside of this relationship. You deserve someone who will always treat you with respect and kindness. Not only when they feel like it or when they think it’ll benefit them in some way, and this isn’t fair to either one of us because our relationship is built on lies and deception instead of trust and honesty like it should be between two people who love each other so much!
