★They say if you love something let it go, if it comes back around it's to be kept, If it doesn't it was?

That person might reciprocate the love but nobody wants to be loved in an obsessive way. Love also has to involve trust and if one trusts a person one does leave them some freedom and doesn't keep them on a tight leash...I think that's what it basically means...the more one tries to hold on to a person the more that person feels in a prison and wants out..but if you treat this person with respect and trust the person you love, then if you give each other space...and each can also go out and meet some of their own friends..a girl can have a girls shopping spree and guy can hang out with his pals sometimes and that's acceptable to both...they don't live in each others jacket pocket...they just trust each other even if they live together, everybody is an individual and everybody wants to sometimes just do something without the significant other....that does not mean or doesn't have to mean there is no reciprocated love..but two people in friendship and in love and even parents and children..they need mutual respect and mutual trust and they need the ability to communicate with each other..and feel at ease with each other enough to talk about anything and everything, hopes, dreams, fears and problems and every person needs some space even in a marriage...nobody wants to be in a cage...not even in a golden one and no woman wants to be put on a pedestal by a man...she wants to be loved and respected but not be treated as is she was made of fine china and gather dust on a pedestal...she wants to be treated like a human being so does everybody....

If one loves someone, one should let that person know about the feelings one has...even if one gets rejected...the best thing is to start to talk to this person then one sees if there is a connection and if a friendship is possible and one can read from the body language and facial expression and by asking if one can meet again if the other person is interested ...and if the person seem uncomfortable and does not pay very much attention during a date then I would say...it's not worth pursuing but if the person is listening and if one finds one has things in common a great friendship could be the beginning of a relationship and then it's worth it to take a leap of faith...even if one runs the risk to sometimes get hurt..by getting rejected...but there are certain risk that are worth it... I agree with not holding on tight to someone and give everybody space...they need that...everybody needs that and if one has mutual trust then the person will come back and obessive love where one wants to control someone and keep them under observation that's not normal love..that's sick somehow..so I agree with you...x

Hey, personally, i feel that is not true, not at all.

Yeah i understand people tends to turn to quotes when they're out of alternatives or bored, and trust them. But however, it really kinda depends on the situation itself.

Look at it, you have to understand the meaning of "let it go". There's a HUGE difference between "let it go" and "i give up"!

And look at it from another perspective. IF you like this person, and he likes you back, no one takes the initiative and believes to "let it go", it's the end right?

Honestly, i believe if you like someone, just go for it. Who knows when your last day of life might be. Life is simple, go after what you like and don't leave regrets. If you were to give up now, who knows. 20 years down the road, you may realize he/she is really the one special person in your heart, you'd realized you didnt try hard enough. TOO LATE.

Even if it's not too late, its the end.

So hey, Don't regret in life yea. There's no confirms in life, but it's better to try than to not. Just get hurt, you'd be fine.

All the best.^^

i believe that particular quote is absolutely true. but when such a situation comes in life when one has to meke a decision between setting something or someone free i think one should just fallow heart and not the quote.one should do whatever they feel is right at that particular moment.

This is a truism. Situations do fit it, but some do not.

Well, what was your alternative?............(tie them down & chain to the basement!?!!?!)......

Nah, it's best to let them go, set them FREE!
