'Tis better to have loved and lost

I think that this answer could be different for different people. However, for me personally, I think it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. As painful as the loss can be... As much as it can shatter your confidence, shake your resolve, and just generally mess with your head... I still wouldn't change my answer. The problem with never falling in love in the first place, as far as I'm concerned, is then I'd always wonder. I'd wonder what it's like, if I could've been happy with someone else, what I'm missing out on. I just always wonder. And I would feel that I'd missed out. I would feel that there was just something I didn't "get". This way I know. It doesn't negate any of the pain of the loss, knowing. It doesn't make it any easier to deal with. And it doesn't mean that I won't look for love again. But it does satisfy that question. And if I don't find love again, well, I won't feel quite so bad, 'cause at least I know that I had it once.
