"Love is not a relationship to end; it is a living, moment-to-moment experience. When love turns into a structure of possessiveness, it ceases to be love—let it go and allow what is alive to flourish."
According to Osho, the very question is misplaced: love is not a relationship to end, but a living, moment-to-moment relating. When love becomes a structure—contract, security, possessiveness—it isn’t love; let it go. Don’t plan exits; preparation kills love. Stay a loving being and allow what is alive to continue and what is dead to naturally fall away.
If it feels like a cage or contract, drop it; if it’s alive and kind now, live it now, and don’t try to plan the ending.

- Teaches trust in natural beginnings and endings without overthinking.
