You will know when you really love someone when you want him to be happy even if his or her happiness means you are not a part of it.

I fell in love with a man who I thought was free to love me. Thank goodness it took me only a couple of months to realize that he wasn’t free at all. He was deeply committed to someone else. And there was a child in the middle of us all.

I was so in love with the guy that there was a war going on inside me… do I let him go or fight for him? I did the former. If there was not a child involved, I would have fought for him. But the child made me see things differently. It was not easy, letting him go. But the decision was made easily.

His happiness lies in his child. And the child’s future lies with her father. I would never take that away from anyone, least of all someone I loved.
