saying
Esta es una modificación de un dicho creo que a nivel centroamericano.
Ello implica que 2 personas que "se aman" no pueden estar separadas porque al final una de ellas terminará encontrando una pareja distinta a la original.
Alguna sugerencia.

if you don't spend time with your lover, someone else will
this is an adaptation of common saying such as "if you don't look after your customers, someone else will" -- meaning that if you don't give good customer service, your customers will look for an alternative supplier.

Lovers apart, playing away
I've tried to capture both the humour of the source phrase and the succinctness
'Playing away' is an idiomatic, humorous expression borrowed from sport (football?: away fixtures) now meaning 'having an affair'. Quite a propos at the moment :O)
