to fix a broken heart?

for the past few months,i've been around people who had their hearts broken...or had broken someone's heart...and i really really wonder...can anyone fix a broken heart?

after seeing so many couples break up, find new people and move on...sometimes i really wonder if they've really moved on, or is it just an illusion that they are giving to others? then there are those who never really let go of the past. the faithful ones who strongly believed that things would work out right in the end...waiting and waiting for that day to come, hoping and hoping that time would be on their side.

a friend of mine once said,"it's not really the break up that hurts, it's the process of getting used to not having each other. that's the painful bit." perhaps it's true. so many movies had lines that says,"if you love her/him, you should let her/him go." but in real life, can we really really do that, letting someone you hold dearly leave you and search for better ones?

if the greatest distance is being beside someone you love who doesn't love you back, then i guess the biggest pain is loving someone and letting that person go.

to all broken-hearted souls out there, hang in there. the pain may still be fresh, but eventually, the pain would become tolerable.
