Farewell —— 《Mistresses Season 2》

Coming to the end, there are two farewell touching me.

One is the letter full of regrets coming from a lover who betrayed her boyfriend:

"Dear Dan,

There are so many things I want to say to you. I thought I'd have the rest of my life to do that. But I don't think you'd listen to me now, and I don't blame you. After what I've done, I wouldn't listen to me either.


It's amazing really, the way we humans behave. The capacity we have to bring disaster to our lives. The way I brought disaster to ours. It's even more bewildering when you think that all any of us are really searching for is someone to stand beside... someone to look at and say: 'Yes, you make the difference.' 'You bring me peace.' I think some people have a gene for love, they know what it is. Giving it and receiving it in return just comes naturally to them. It seems I don't have that chromosome, because being loved by you was, I see now, all I ever wanted. And for some reason, I took it and I broke it. But I believe that love is strong, that love endures, and if it does, then so does hope."

Reading this letter, he took her back. Love defeat the hurt feeling.

Another is a husband who is betrayed by his wife twice saying goodbye in tears:

"In time you will meet someone, I'm just going to be another man coming in and out of your life. I'm not your true love. And that's the fact that would slowly destroy me. I need to be at the heart of my own life, not on the fringe of someone else's. So I'm saying goodbye."

He left her without hesitation. The broken heart can't hold love any more.

Although this is totally different from what happened between us, but I can't help thinking of the dilemma we are facing: Which way will we go? What will be ahead of us? Where is my limits? Where is yours? Can we never say goodbye again? Can we make it? Can love endure?
