the metaphore I know is, you find a bird with a broken wing, so you take it in, heal it’s wing, make sure it can fly around your room, however you know this beuitful creature belongs outside. So you open the window to let it go, however you keep the window open to show your still here if the bird still needs your help.

I’d like to share another metaphor, similar in thought.
A magnificent deer comes up to your yard for food every morning. You grow fond of this creature and take such joy in having it around that you decide to build a fence around your property to keep it in. The problem with this is the deer came for food only and consequently takes the first oportunity available to escape and never return. Perhaps if there were no fence the deer might still return. But then you must be true to yourself and consider what it is the deer really loves and wants in the first place. Anyway, one must be wise and know what they’re selling because once its no longer there, needed or can be provided you’ve lost your buyer. (As when a rich man is no longer rich and etc.)
If the deer enjoyed the company of the property owner just as much as the food the fence would never have been needed in the first place and the deer wouldn’t think twice about leaving. However, leaving the fence down as with leaving the window open, the deer still may return, yes, but be wise and honest with yourself and know where you stand in the relationship. -

if you truly love a person and you think they need to be set free whether it be your significant other or your child you will, and that is only if you truly love them. because if they love you they will always return to comfort you and visit you and love you just the same.

If you love someone so much sometimes you have no choice but to let them go- you want them to be happy and if letting them go does that then thats what needs to be done! They are truely yours if they come back and of ther own will dont leave again! You cant force people to do things you can only advise and hope!

Yes…....I agree…Love demand freedom of beloved, and of lover too…Moreover, one must be compassionate towards one’s beloved things, though it may hurt you. But this is not the case with life partner, siblings and children. They must be kept in supervision and protection, for the sake of their own benefits.

depends on the situationVoted for by jonesz12.
I think that it depends on the person as John Denver sang in his beautiful duet with Placido Domingo: "Some say love is holding on and some say letting go, and some say love is everything, and some say they don't know." I'm definitly in the I don't know category.
