  Love is not just about rainbows and butterflies. Beyond the countless I love you’s are the sacrifices and heartbreaks behind it.

  Love can be the most beautiful thing that can happen to you until you stop choosing one another. Love is a choice, but you can’t forever stay in a relationship especially if you are no longer the ‘one.’

  ‘Letting go’ is what Moira Dela Torre’s latest single is all about. It’s about a tragic story of loving someone and having to let them go when you are no longer the reason of their happiness.

  Shortly after the OPM singer released her single “Paubaya,” it already trended online. Turns out, it is not just the last track in the ‘Patawad’ album but a representation of countless stories of unrequited love, love that eventually fades, and one’s bravery in letting someone go for them to be happy even if it is not them anymore.

  Here are some of the stories shared online:

  I was listening to Moira’s new song “Paubaya” and these comments broke my heart, literally 🥺

  No matter how much you love that person, if they have found happiness in another person, you have no choice but to let them go. Where does that leave you then?

   

  What makes Moira’s Paubaya so painful is the fact that no matter how much we love a person and how much we want a relationship to work out, if they’ve already found their happiness in someone else’s arms, then we have to let them go. 🥺🥺🥺🥺

  Being replaced is not easy and you cannot definitely get over it easily.

  Its the song of Moira who reminded me again about the trauma of being replaced to. It’s been 1 year and her song opened again the deep wounds that I been trying to stitch. POTANGINA. I regreted listening to her music.

  Sometimes, the person who made you the happiest can make you feel the most pain.

  “Paubaya” by Moira opened the wound of yesterday. It’s true that, the hardest part of falling in love is to let go someone you love the most for their own happiness, and you can’t do anything but to be happy for them even it will gives you so much pain.

  Amidst all the painful stories being shared online, sometimes, letting go can be the best decision that you can make for it will open new chapters you never thought you never needed.

  Paubaya by Moira will make you say “Thank you lord hindi na namin pinilit” letting go will make you open new chapters where he doesn’t belong but in those chapters you’ll find time for healing, growing and choosing things that will make you genuinely happy pic.twitter.com/TL4A8UDcAD
