Loving and letting go - expressed through song lyrics

Idle moments often makes a person produce cheesy ideas.

I was able to produce this line-up of song lyrics that somehow summarizes the process of falling in love up to letting go. I believe that it's not always a 'they lived happily ever after', 'fairy-tale' ending for everyone. There are people who are kinda 'head-over-heels' in love with a person who does not give back the same amount of love he or she receives.
