Summary

This quote emphasizes the selflessness and understanding required in a genuine and healthy love. It suggests that true love should not be based on possession or control. Instead, it encourages individuals to grant their loved ones the freedom to make choices and follow their own paths.

Conversely, if they choose not to return, it implies that the love was not genuine or destined to last, allowing both individuals to move forward in their separate journeys.
