I don't feel true love is ever lost. If it is, perhaps it wasn't true love to begin with, why would you chase after that? If it was true love there would be no question, you would do anything and everything to hold on to it while at the same time doing nothing.
Love is the most complicated simple thing in the world.

I just wait until it comes around again. I've been married for 21 years and am continually falling in and out of love with my husband, but I just keep hanging in there because I believe in my marriage and I guess maybe I'm just too stubborn to give up! But each time we fall back in love it is stronger than before, and the rewards of a lifetime commitment are worth the struggle.

All relationships take effort and hard work to stay alive. And with the challenges and ups and downs of daily life, it can be easy to not make as much time to your partner or doing the activities that brought you two together in the early dating stages. So, if the relationship has a strong foundation, a good history and if both partners want to make it work, then you can definitely take steps to rekindle that lost spark and give each other attention again to remember what it was that made you fall in love with one another. So, the answer to this question really depends on the individual and whether you feel the effort is worth it. It's all about your feelings and what your heart is telling you. Some relationships are meant to last longer than others and other relationships are shorter lived due to having fulfilled karmic lessons that brought you together. You can love someone but no longer be in love with them. So, you have to decide which scenario you are in and whether it's a case of just hitting an emotional rut that can be revived or if you've reached the end of your growth as a couple.

If you've already given up on love and consider it gone, then you've pretty much already made the decision to walk away.
However, before walking away, take one more deep look to see if there is *any* love left at all. I believe that if there is even a small amount of love left at all, that just that tiny bit can conquer whatever obstacle is getting in the way and making you think the love is lost. You have to focus on the little bit of love that is there and do everything in your power to nurture it back to health. It's hard work, nurturing love back to health, but somehow it'll happen and you may not even know it at first.
The ancient Roman writer, Virgil, did not know how powerful and true his words were when he wrote them: "Omnia vincit amor." Translated: "Love conquers all." Just after writing that powerful 3-word statement, he continues to say, simply, "Let us surrender to love." When you've surrendered to love, it can do amazing things and conquering the thought that a love has been lost is a cake-walk quest for love!
Take one more look, you might find that you still love that person. If after a final look, you still can't find any love left, it's time to walk away.
