It was a very ordinary couple, she was not yet forty, he is forty - with a "tail." Relations between them were smooth, without passions and violent showdown, quiet and measured, they enjoyed each other's company for about four years ... And then one of the cool autumn evening he disappeared. No note, no call, as if it had never been in her life. The first few days, my pride would not let her first dial the phone number, inflamed consciousness in imagination variety of paintings, to somehow justify his disappearance. She went through all sorts of options, ranging from drinking spree with friends or a girl and ending with a car accident. But the days passed, and from him and there was no news ... on the tenth day of pride and vanity treacherously gave way, insatiable desire to hear again the voice of the native and she excitedly called his number. One blast, the second, third, fourth .... She began to get nervous ...

At the end of the wire is finally sounded tired, "Hello" ...

- I'm worried about where you are, what's the matter, surely it was impossible to make a call? - She did not notice, as has moved to cry.

- I could not - he answered indifferently.

She was taken aback for a moment, not the words she wanted to hear.

- Will we see? - Her voice trembled treacherously.

- I do not know - again with the same hint of indifference, came the reply.

- Why do not you just say that all the course? - She smiled bitterly.

At the moment the tube was silence, and she caught herself thinking that she does not want to interrupt this silence ... At the end of the wire a strange voice asked:

There are contraindications. Consult with your doctor.

- You without me is bad?

- Yes - a barely audible "she said.

- Then listen to what I tell you ... - he sighed and began her monologue.

"There are no meetings, no farewells, sooner or later in any relationship there comes the final stage. Sometimes we are delayed the moment of parting, convincing themselves that the time has not come yet, despite the fact that in our hearts long ago, instead of love firmly entrenched misery and pain "

In his words there was no regret or bitterness, there was a feeling that he was firmly convinced of the correctness of his reasoning, although she, unlike him every word he said was given to the difficulty, in my heart she knew that he was right. Their happiness was monotonous, devoid of emotions and experiences, boring and inaction .... Now she is particularly acute feeling that the final stage of relations has long been stepped on ...

He calmly went on ... "I am confident that in a past life you were very wise man, because in this life you've chosen a difficult path, the path of disappointment, suffering and pain, and only wise man can take it all live and move on. None will not be able to help you survive this period, no relatives, no relatives, no material goods. Just looking into the deepest corners of his soul, you'll be able to answer all the accumulated problems. We can not change the usual course of events all that we can - accept it reality as it is, and in doing so, we can get rid of his ego. Given the reality, we eliminate the edifying faith, which gives rise to the ego. You've already taken the first step by calling me, stepping over his pride, you got rid of ambitions and unnecessary strife and tension. Only objectively assessing themselves and accepting the reality of life comes to a complete understanding of the situation. This way you have chosen myself, just realize this and accept.

You probably think it's my fault in your suffering? Believe me, I'm not interested in them, and nobody is able to create your suffering .... even God. Does not he bring us suffering, but we ourselves. "Nothing is eternal under the Moon" ... when all is coming to an end, but if the relationship between man and woman were real and their lives were indeed true feelings, then the separation may not be painful. These people have no quarrels and resentments come to a common understanding of separation and accept reality as their way, not as the will of God or an evil fate ... .. You can not try someone impose their will by imposing ourselves, we are burdened with guilt of another person, and it's wrong, I think, you know what I mean ....

Each of us has our own path and move along this path can only be alone. Moving to the truth we do not need to rely on someone's shoulder. The time has come for you and me to separate each in its own direction. I could come up with a lot of reasons that decided me to leave you, I could tell what you would like to hear, but I'd have to lie, but you do not deserve. Our relationship has run its course, being together, we can not move on, but I can not do so with someone who is really dear to me. Our meeting was not accidental .... awareness of this only comes with parting ... "

He paused, and she suddenly felt like my heart has become easy and quiet ... It is most afraid to hear on the phone .... truth .... because I knew what it would be ... and now she was just happy from the fact that she did not lie, pervert the wise rambling monologue, a stream of false excuses. The man at the other end suddenly became even closer and dearer, and unexpectedly, she realized that long ago it ... let go ...

When we truly love and our relationship is really filled with love and understanding, then the separation should be as bright and wise as love itself. Sometimes it's best just to step aside to allow another person to live and breathe. Unfortunately, it is not given to everyone. It is difficult to realize that their destiny can only be performed in isolation. We cling to a relationship that no longer exist, we try to love a man who has long been a stranger to us so difficult to confront his ego, which persistently appeals to our pride and vanity. Happiness of each one of us in the uniqueness, because in fact makes us happy is not one, but we do!
