Connection is not Intention

Give without expecting anything back in return, they say. Easily said than done, isn't it?. I thought I would gradually be okay just loving without expecting anything back in return. But, how do I make up my mind seeing them become someone else's, that too with a mystery of lies.... I find myself silly sometimes for not being able to get over. But the reality is that, those little moments, those memories, makes me feel like ages of togetherness with loads of love. 

But amid all the lies, A part of me still yearns to believe that, he had at least a little part of his heart which was genuine towards me. Maybe he loved me for at least a moment. Maybe he actually cared , at least a while... MAYBE.... 

Letting go is the most difficult thing for a person in love. We have to stop telling ourselves the story about someone who is an amazing first love, if they had no intention of keeping us in the first place. But because of the connection we felt with them, we now tell ourselves an incredible love story about what that situation should ,materialize into. Remember for a true love story to occur, you need, not just connection, you need intention, you need investment. You need someone who is actually committed to making the story go somewhere. Connection is not intention.
