return to me

this quote always seems to find its way back to me:

if you love somebody, let them go,

for if they return, they were always yours,

and if they do not, they never were.

(k. gibran)

no matter how many times i’ve read it, it always tugs at my heartstrings.

I have heard/seen that quote many times, and have often thought of it to myself because it gets to the heart of things in such an important way. But I had no idea who the author was!
