If you love someone let them go...

Do you believe in true love, like the sane goes "if you love something set it free. if it returns to you it was always yours, but if it does not then it never was?" I came to realize that I think this is true in the sense that I think when people break up because they think they fell our of love, they either one day realize that they lost their true love or that they were never really in love in the first place. I think this because after being truly in love, I believe that i would not have ever fallen out of love if he had given me the chance to prove it.

What do you think? Has anyone fallen out of love only to come to realize they had either always loved, or never loved the person they were with?

....

i dont believe in falling out of love.
if you were never in love to begin with, how could you fall out of love?

see, the way i see it is that, you can fall in love more than once but you can't fall out of it.
and if you feel that you're falling out of love, you never loved to begin with.


anyway from my own personal experience.
i fell in love with a girl and i broke her heart.
now i'm here, thinking everyday how much i still love her.

i think it just has to do with how you feel in the end.

Let's not mix up lust and love

We can't forget that when it comes to relationships there is also a thing out there called lust. Like the person before me stated "if you were never in love to begin with, how could you fall out of love? and if you feel that you're falling out of love, you never loved to begin with. " I was with someone who I swore I loved to death up and down left and right. However, now being out of the relationship and into a new one (for 6 years now) I have come to realize that I didn't love that person AT ALL, rather it was just a "lust thing" And then I was in this relationship with someone who I also swore that I loved to death that whenever I talk to him I still get those butterflies in my stomach. You never lose it if you love someone even if you continue on and love someone else. I still have feelings for the person I truly did love but none of the person I thought I did. However, after it all...the person I am with now can't replace the person I still get the butterflies for. If you TRULY love someone you will always have love for them deep down inside...no matter how hard you try to stop it. I hope this all makes sense

i c

That makes a lot of sense. I think maybe my ex and I were in love but maybe sometimes things inevitably can't work out, and maybe we will love other people one day. I guess it takes more than love to be happy sometimes, when relationships just can't get worked out no matter how hard we both tried. I just know I'm going to love him and remember that I was really in love, even if I move on and find happiness in another. I just always thought maybe once you found the one there could not be another, but I guess from what you all say there can be. Thanks for your thoughts!

idk
theres a fine line between loving somebody and being in love
if u wanted to let someone go, u would have to have a reason, u cant just like let them go lol
but yeah i agree

The way I see it

I believe that if you "fell out of love" you never were really in love w/the person. If you love someone, you'll love them forever. Doesn't mean that you should or will end up w/that person. But the feeling will still be there, deep down inside.

I think the saying has to do more w/if you were "meant" to be w/someone in the long run. I dunno if you believe in fate or things happening for a reason. But I think that if you are meant to be w/someone, even if you go your separate ways somehow you'll find your way back to them. If not, then there's someone else for you in the long run.

I think you can fall out of love.  I find it horribly belittling to tell someone that because they don't love a person now, they never did.  People change.  You find out things about people you didn't know.  Sometimes **** just falls apart on it's own.  It doesn't have to mean you never loved them.  All it means is it didn't work out, and you're over it and have moved on.
