Is it?
"'Tis better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all." -
Alfred Lord Tennyson
is this true?
is it really better
to have loved someone... and loose them?
is it really better to have felt pain
that was caused by the one you loved?
is it better to have been in a position
where you're the only one giving all the love
and receiving none back in return?
they say falling in love
is giving someone the power to destroy you
and trusting them not to.
the worst feeling in the world
is being hurt or betrayed
by the person you trusted the most.
but all this is just part of life, so they say...
i guess not having been in love with someone
saves you the pain of breaking up.
you are oblivious to the feeling of pain or loss.
and you are trusting someone will never be hard
because you have no idea that trusting comes with a price.
so, is it really better to have loved,
than to have never loved at all?
i guess getting hurt teaches the heart to be strong.
it teaches the mind to be brave
and it prepares you for disappointment.
having too much expectations or too little
can be damaging to your mind.
learning how to love just the right amount
is better than not loving at all.
this way if you do get hurt,
it won't be so bad and maybe just maybe
you can pick up the pieces and start all over again.
