No matter how genuine love is, and no matter how beautiful it may be, when you already know that being together will only cause pain to both of you, perhaps the bravest thing you can do is to let go. Fearing that you might choose that person again if there really is a next life, he let the person he loved go, hardening his heart and walking away without looking back even once.
