Go Your Own Way

The post title relates to the Fleetwood Mac song, one of my all time favourites. I posted a video on FB at the weekend, for a friend who despite wanting to give her his world, was not going to get the love in return. There's some background information which I'm not at liberty to discuss, but knowing my good friend for as long as I've known him, he would have been "the one".
I guess, more than anything else, what I'd like to say is that perfection, in whatever form it takes, is unattainable. The search will never end, and along the way there may be a missed opportunity for something great, something that may never come along again. The lyrics from the song have on a few occasions rung very true in my life, in fact almost embodied, but I take the stance of "their loss" as I have something great and have had it for a very long time.
If there's a moral to any of this, it's take a good look at what you're giving up before you move on. Someone has decided to "go their own way", and it may be a tragic error in the end.
