About This Quote

To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much. We all know it takes a lot of strength to let someone go. It is not always easy to do so and sometimes it is so hard that we have to remind ourselves that we have done it before. In this quote from Stephen Chbosky's novel "The Perks of being a Wallflower," Charlie, a teenage boy who falls in love with a girl named Sam, has to decide whether or not he loves her enough to let her go. If he does not love her enough, then he will continue to lose her until he finally does.

He is scared of losing the person he loves most in the world and how that will impact his life. He decides that he must let her go for good if that is what she wants; she deserves the best possible chance at happiness and love. But, if they stay together, they will continue to fall apart until neither of them can get back up again.
