there's a saying that

in love (or courtship, or anything resembling
that...i don't know the difference),
if you really love someone, you will let them
go.

if they come back, then you know it's for real
(the love is real).

actually, that's not quite a saying.

it's a line from xtina aguilera song.

i admit, even for a guy who has a cold,
frozen heart, that kind of struck a chord.

or did my cold, cold heart just thawed?
