Enchaining Love

Well-known American-Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran wrote: "If you love a person, let her (him) go. If she comes back, it means that she has always been yours. If she does not, it means she has never been yours." If you reflect on these words, you realize that it is illogical to think that a person can actually "belong" to you. You have the illusion that your love creates a tie that will prevent your beloved to break away. You believe that your love is capable of fulfilling all her/his needs. It's just an illusion, because you can only provide what "you" think she (or he) wishes for. No-one is able of really knowing what another human being's deepest needs are because everyone is different, in spite of the closeness that might have been established. Therefore, what each individual can do is simply do their best, without expecting love to become an unbreakable "chain". It (fortunately) won't.
