A Simple S_E_Y to a Hurtful S_P_A_C_E

In my mind, asking for a space didn't necessarily mean you are letting go of someone you love so dearly, to me it's only a mere "pause" to the relationship you have, a way to let each side find the time they need to think things over . Space lets you breath for a while to help you realize things that you really want, what makes you happy, and more importantly is for you to know if you are still "in love" with that person you thought you were. And after that space, that would be the best time to decide whether they still want to continue what was left to be paused or completely end it.
