a: unrequited love ~
b: building a damn
What:
"I think you just helped yourself. Holding back unrequited love is like building a damn, you either need the resources to keep it growing forever, or you need an outlet to drain it once in a while. Remember, you're working with a force equal in power and beauty to that of a running river. Rivers run their course without instruction, they go with the flow, they accept obstacles and find ways around them, they aren't meant to be contained and they posses great destructive power. Love is the same way. If you truly feel this is part of your loves course set that letter to the wind and hope it finds her hands and makes it's way into her heart. "
