Catch-22 situation

Love is irrational:

I don't want you to leave,
though I know you'll be happier going back to him.
But by being selfish,
am I showing you that I don't love you?

--

If I let you leave: you'll think that I don't love you.
If I don't let you leave: I'm don't want you to be happy: you'll think that I don't love you.

Whichever way,
it's wrong,
I'm at fault.

I just learnt this paradox this afternoon.
