ucaminax, thankyou so much! you're right, Ephemera is a fantastic poem, possibly more emotional and passionate than Shine, but I dunno. I think both DG and WB Yates are talking about being separated emotionally as well as physically, and talking as if they will carry on to have this separation for some time, is isn't a "I'm your knight and I'm saving you" its more of a "the bravest, most courageous thing I can do right now is to let you go" I know we're meant to stay on the subject of the music, but lets not!
what do people think of this whole idea, is it possible to love someone so much that you let them go? or does love mean holding tight to someone and not loosening grip despite physical / emotional barriers?
Please respond! R
This is a reply to a comment you made on 12/25/05 so who knows if you will even get this, but I wanted to leave my opinion. You asked if it's possible to love someone so much that you let them go or do you hold on tightly, for all your worth, despite physical and emotional barriers? I believe now, as I always have, that when you love someone, you naturally want to place their needs before yours. I also believe that love shouldn't hurt. It's not the love that hurts you.

I believe now, as I always have, that when you love someone, you naturally want to place their needs before yours. I also believe that love shouldn't hurt. It's not the love that hurts you. It's the Betrayal that hurts. It's the abandonment, rejection and cheating that hurts. It's love that makes us feel better. Sometimes we love the right person at the wrong time or for whatever reason, you know they would be better off or perhaps their lives would be much easier, if you were to step aside and let them live the life they need to, without you.
I would step aside. If I were to hold on with a death grip, I have just placed all my wants and needs before this person I claim to be so deeply in love with. I never want to see anyone I love in pain. It breaks my heart. That being said, there is no way I could live with myself and this person, if I knew I was causing them pain because I was simply being selfish. You would be telling this person, by way of your actions, that you don't care about what is best for them. Have you ever heard the quote "If you love something, you should set it free. If it comes back to you, it was meant to be". Wise words.
