Is emptiness better than constant hurting?

"I hate forcing myself to let go of one person that I need in my life, it's the only thing that makes sense but at the same time, it's the same thing that complicates me.
I know I'm better off without that person, yet I feel empty whenever I try to let go.
Is emptyness better than constant hurting?..."

I received this text message from a friend...
Well, every word fits perfectly...
