If you love something, let it go...

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be...

As a firm believer in the power of human free will, I couldn't understand the deep meaning behind this beautiful quote. How can you let go something and especially someone you truly love? Someone who became part of yourself, whose pain and baggage became your own - that's how much you care about him. I firmly believed that when you work hard and fight for your happiness, eventually you will get it and all your dreams will come true. Just be patient and diligent - it will pay off. "This should definitely work when it comes to relationships", - I thought. If you care a lot about a person, be there for him when he needs you, give him space from time to time and, what's more important, step out of your comfort zone and change for the better to make him happy - he will appreciate it and be yours forever. But apparently I was wrong. This philosophy doesn't apply in all situations. Any relationship is a two-way street. If a person doesn't feel the same way or his feelings withered away, you can't force him to be with you. No matter how hard you try. So just let him go. Don't wait, close this chapter of your life for now, let the person open it if it means to be.
