Have you ever been through a situation where you just do something and then realize that maybe the consequences are bad? I have.
We all have.
There are some people in life whom you don't want to let go, no matter how hard you try. They are the reason you spend endless nights thinking, or in an emotional breakdown. They are the reason you might have hated life. They are the reason you dreamed of good days, which probably never came. Yet, you want them with you and by you all the time.
Distance can separate people but not their bonding. But if people create distances, it creates a big hole between them and keeps on increasing as they try to part intentionally. What they don't get it this is going to worsen the situation rather than making it better.
