Something strange about love locks. Two people take a moment and try to make it permanent. They leave something behind that says, this was real. This mattered. But permanence and meaning aren’t the same thing. Sometimes love remains even when life moves on. Sometimes you become the person you needed to be after the moment that needed you has already passed. Maybe letting go isn’t pretending it meant any less. Maybe it’s letting the lock stay and giving yourself permission to keep walking
