If you love someone set them free...

I think I have finely figured it out.  Took me long enough.  If you truly love someone, really love them and they want nothing to do with you in their lives, then when they leave, you HAVE to let them go.  You can't attempt to contact or call to say hi. You can't try to keep in the loop of their lives.  You have to let go of them.  You have to respect that they have moved on and left you behind.  BECAUSE if you don't let them go then you don't really love them for who THEY are, you only love who they are to YOU. 

So you have to ask yourself, "Do I really love this person?" and if the answer is yes, then you let them fade from your life because that is what they want and you love them enough to give them what they truly want.  If you can't seem to let them go, then more likely the answer is not that you love THEM, but that you love the them you have created in your own mind and heart and you love what that image does for you.  And THAT, is not real love at all.

Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt either way, but it is easier to do the right thing when you have the truth to back you up.  (Also makes you feel more noble lol).
