One of my friends said this to me (it’s better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all) quite soon after Jason and i broke up. I thought she was just bitter since i don’t think she has ever been in love. After thinking more about this some more over time… i still don’t know what i think.
With anything that you have never experienced before you cannot miss it when it’s gone, since you never had it to begin with. Before Jason i had never been in love before so i didn’t care that i didn’t have it since i didn’t know what it really felt like.
It’s funny, people say things are indescribable, or there are no words, and you think how can that be, but then you experience it and you know. So being in love i can say that it was, something i loved. I loved knowing someone i cared about so much cared about me the exact same way. That the person i was always thinking about was most likely thinking about me too.
It was a great experience.. and i’m happy i got to experience it, and hopefully will experience it again in my life. But now not having it i feel quite lost without it. I miss it terribly. I know i have other types of love that i share with my friends and family, but it’s not the same… Now that i know what i am missing makes it even that much harder. It’s hard to go out and see couples who are happy. I think that was me at one point. It’s hard to know that i had something so great and now it’s gone.
So is it really better to have loved and lost. I don’t know… I’m happy to have loved, and been loved, but now that it’s gone it hurts a lot.
