Graphite and diamond are both made from carbon.
They are so different from each other, in appearance, strength and value.

Yet, the sole difference lies in their spatial arrangement.
They could be siblings, yet even twins can never take each other's place.

It's the same as love.
Some love are meant to be friendships, others end up in marriages.
Hearts may be broken when efforts and time put in gives rise to graphite,which may appear less valuable,
never forget that graphite marks can be erased easily.

But once love stabilises as diamond,
only diamonds itself can be used to severe the relationship so strong.

In the same way in which you once loved that someone,
only that love again can give you the power to forgive.

Let go and new diamonds and graphite will be yours again.
Hold on, and the diamond that doesn't belong to you anymore
can never take its rightful place in someone's else's heart.
