To Loved and Lost
Is it really better to have loved and lost
Or would you rather have never loved at all
It surely is a question most find hard to answer
But to me I am so glad to have experienced love that I lost
When I think back of past love I often have bittersweet memories
I would never have learned that love is not just giving it is receiving
It is not only having your way all the time but compromising for the best for all
The bitter sweetness of lost love is a blessing for it taught me even when you lose you still gain more than you lose. You gain the knowledge of what real love is
Love truly is the passion and fire you feel when you are in your loved one’s embrace and feel their lips on yours igniting a flame that reaches to your soul with their tender caresses Love is not only this but the respect you have for each other and knowing you would gather the stars in the heavens if you could if they asked it of you. Love gives you the wings to do all you can in life and lifts you when you stumble how would we ever know what true and lasting love was if we didn’t experience the hurt of lost love. So yes it is better to have loved and lost but when you ponder this you realize you really never lost anything but the ignorance of what love really is
