Love Lost To Rival



Sometimes, love's compass points us toward heartache, revealing that the person we envisioned our future with has chosen a different path. There is nothing more agonising in this world than to find out our heart’s desire has started courting someone else. In these moments, we must remember that true love is not possessive; it's about wanting the happiness of the person we cherish above all else, even if it means letting them go.
