No it actually makes perfect sense, but its deeper than it seems.

First of all, if you love someone who doesn’t love you and that could be for many many many reasons, some of them you cant even see, some of them you are unaware of most of them you can’t change. You can’t do a damn thing about it. You can’t manipulate or cheat it so either. So we’ve established that, you love this person, right, but knowing what you know, do you really want to be with someone who doesn’t really want to be with you? That doesn’t sound great being with them and you know they don’t really want to be there, they would rather be somewhere else, that’s not good. But you still care, you still love them, the best thing you can do is accept it, that’s the way it goes in life, you win some, you lose some, some you don’t stand a chance with. The only thing you can do is let them go easy, don’t get pissed off, don’t cry, don’t make their life miserable, don’t be stuck up their a** 24/7, what you need to do, is basically test it out. You need to let them go, and stay away from them at all cost. Stay offline, stay away from them, their people, their work, where they go, you just let them go easy. 1 of 2 things will happen, for sure. They will never come back to you, but in reality you should be moving on and wiping it out of your head anyway, so it shouldn’t even be an option to you, until they show up at your door or you run into them in the future, 1, 2, 5 years down the road. Cross that bridge when you come to it, but they might not ever come back to you. Too much time, maybe they found a life that to them is a step above the time period you shared together, and that time was just a learning phase of their life, part of the climb up the mountain which could have been big to you, but a spec of nothing to them. They might never come back.

OR you end up together again years down the road because you bumped into each other and both of you realized there was nothing better in which case if you’re both open, it could be better than ever.

If you love someone set them free is only part of that saying (I think) I’m pretty sure the rest is “if it comes back to you, it’s yours to keep” or something like that.

Everyone need to realize, and it’s a hard pill to swallow, but you can never change how someone feels about you that way. You can’t cheat it, you can’t even intentionally become what they want, or what you think they want to change it. You can’t even change how they feel by making yourself a better person. Nothing in this world can change it, it needs to be real, and nobody wants someone who doesn’t really want them for real.
