What is the meaning to the poem "let it go" by ee cummings?

Question

I understand that it means something along the lines of to achieve love you must learn to let things go. You have to let things go their separate ways to where they were meant to go.

I just don't really understand the third stanza...
the first one is like half confusing too.

Thanks!

Answer 2

The third stanza means, no matter how important you think something is, (or how minor you think someone else's concern is) don't dwell on it, don't argue about it, don't insist on it, don't obsess on it -- let it go. Your obsessions can block the path for love.
