Letting go

If you love someone, set him free If he comes back to you, he's yours But if he doesn't, he never was... Would you take the risk of letting go someone you really love?

Love is a bidirectional relationship. If someone is not loving the other, it is not going to work. No way. So, let him/her free. evenmore, one further question... would you live and share your life with someone who does not love you??

For me, love is a risk which you may or may not take. As with your question, I would give it a try sharing and living life with someone who doesn't love me but I love very much..It's the risk that I am willing to take which the outcome is unknown. If in the end, he learns to appreciate and love me, then it's the greatest thing that would happen. But if he really didn't and couldn't love me, then I will let go no matter how painful it is. It is a big risk but it is a risk worth taking. At least after everything that has happened, I can say to myself that I TRIED and I don't have regrets.

Yes ... same thing with your quotation. I believe that when you love someone, you will do everything to make him/her happy. If his freedom will be his happiness then I'll give it to him. Eventhough it hurts to let him go ... I think its more painful if I still keep him yet he's not happy with me. OUr life will just become miserable!

If I really love that person and he doesn't love me, i think that by keeping him with me, I will just make our relationship bad. I think that sometimes, one needs to know when to let go and when it is that selfishness takes over. Just because you love him doesn't mean he may love you. If that happens you guys aren't destined to be anyway. Although it may be a hard decision to make, I think in the long run, I would let him go if he doesn't love me. I would take that risk because I think that if he really loves me, he would come back, like you said.

If a person is not married, try to hold on because of the children that you have. Try to be more patient and forgiving and love more, give more. But on the situation of boyfrieng-girlfriend relationship, you can always let go.

If the relationship and the one I love is worth fighting for, I would fight for us. But if it does not work still despite all of my efforts, then I guess I should just let go. But it is hard and it really hurts. Reality sucks.
