Actually I think the only way you can lose stuff you own. You never own another person, so you cannot lose a person

"if you love somebody set them free, if they come back they are yours, if they don't they never were."

.... "If they just sit in your living room, mess up your stuff, eat your food, use your telephone, take your money, and never behave as if you actually set them free, you either married them or gave birth to them."
