Itâs better to have loved and lost, Than to never have loved at all. For how could I ever live my life Knowing I missed out on this?
To lose the feeling of you Is a thought I canât comprehend. For how would I live my life Knowing I lost this?
Iâm so grateful For all the time we share. Every day I thank whatever being controls out fate, I thank them for bringing me closer to you.
Iâm so terrified That one day, I may wake up youâll be gone. I pray to whatever force paints the course of our life, I pray that they donât rip us apart.
I once told you I believed it was better to love and lose, than to never love at all. I told you I would be grateful for our time together Whether it be the rest of our life Or a few weeks.
I replied that I thought it be better to never know what Iâm missing out on. I told you I couldnât carry on, knowing that I lost us. I told you that the grief would be to much for my heart. You said you believed it would be worth it.
Itâs better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.
No, I just cannot agree. They were taken too soon and it just is not fair.
How can you say that? You had many years to love and cherish this person, when our time is up, it is up. At worst, we have lost, but at best we have loved?
We lost the person that matter the most, there is no love anymore, how can there be?
That is not true. Love is kind, love is patient and love is blind. When someone dies, it does not mean they are lost. It means theyâre are at peace, what do you think about the wind?
The wind? Why would I care about that?
Well, the wind is Mother Nature, love is like the wind. You cannot see it but you can feel it.
Oh, donât be silly. We are victims of losing love.
I do not agree with that, I am not a victim of losing love. For you see, we never lost it, it is always within our hearts. Whether that is a person or a paw print, we had so many years with them and they left their imprint. They are not gone, they did not vanish and they did not disappear. They were simply laid to rest.
If thatâs what you want to believe then the connection we have now, is cut off.
Youâre allowed to make your own decisions, if thatâs what you choose to do, than please be my guest. My view still stands, we hold the memories of love within ourselves. The good out stands the bad, whenever we miss them, all we have to do is recall a memory and then suddenly theyâre there. They may have died or passed on, but you have the power to let them live within you by remembering those cherished memories.
It's better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. I'm sorry that things turned out this way, I never meant to break your heart. Despite the happiness I once felt, And the love that you have shown, There are things that I have tried to fix, But Im not sure this is my home. The things we need just aren't the same, But I'm grateful for all we are. Please know that I still care for you, and I wish you all the best..but..
Its better to have loved and lost, Than to never have loved at all. Im sure its easy for you to say, I cant say it was worth the cost. Because as you were falling out of it, I was falling further in. Now every place I turn and go, Theres a memory of you within. If two years ago I wouldâve known, I never would have risked it. Because maybe then, in another time, I still could have believed it.
She was like the sun in my sky, Constantly lightening up my day just with her presence. She was perfect. Being with her felt like being a god, I had the world at my fingertips. I loved her everyday with all I could offer, It may not have been much but it was all I had. She will forever be the best chapter in my long and complicated life. Thatâs why I told her as we parted, âItâs better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.â I believe that and I believe it was us. And if someday we make our way back to eachother Iâll be the happiest man alive.
âItâs better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.â Thatâs what he said. His final words to me as we parted, How poetic of him. No love will ever be worth this feeling after, The pain. If this is what it will feel like with everyone else then I donât want it. Itâs been 3 weeks now I have been up crying at nights. Itâs been 3 weeks now I havenât been able to stop thinking about him. All the lies he told me, âYouâre perfectâ He said. If I was so perfect why did he cheat? If I was so perfect why did he leave? He was the worst chapter in my life, And Iâll never be able to forget it.
He is my best friend always will be I did nothing wrong, honest
thick as thieves We were all each other ever had Never made anyone do anything they didnât want to do
Canât match the boy I knew with the things heâs done Nothingâs wrong with taking gifts
debit cards to dating apps he slid deep into the grift Is it so bad to tell stories?
To be special is all he ever wanted Made them feel special, all of them
Iâd rather not, I think, experience lifeâs pain But then, my friend, what would you gain The gain, my dear, is preserving my heart But no, my love, that isnât very smart
To live without love means emotions run cold Yes, exactly, living fearless and bold Who needs the fleeting feeling of love Living without it, raise quickly above
But years fly by and love is lost No one now to laugh and toss Loneliness quickly engulfs oneâs life Living without love has caused great strife Tessađ
Jâai encore ton collier, jâai gardĂ© une trace de toi, un signe que tu Ă©tais lĂ , une preuve que tu as existĂ©.
On me demande si je regrette, dâĂȘtre restĂ© malgrĂ© tout, comme si tu nâavais jamais Ă©tĂ© doux. Je refuse de voir notre amour comme une perte.
On sâest aimĂ© Ă sâen dĂ©truire, notre amour nous a brĂ»lĂ©, notre amour nous a blessĂ©, On sâaimait Ă en mourir.
Mais on sâaimait, dâun amour quâon ne retrouvera plus jamais.
Today I am grateful I can have no regrets I was never innocent I have a special kind of life now.
I am trying figure out what it means God was trying to save me He closed doors I couldnât He knew I wouldnât
I am thankful for God letting me see him Getting know him love him I learn a lot from him
Everyone says you are so smart But that is from all them years Of listening to him I am glad I got to be with someone like him.
Hands brushing hands One ecosystem of bacterium fusing with the other Temperatures morphing and matching Until two strangers are no longer unfamiliar
(It was just a hand touch, nothing more)
Eyes blazing, buttes burning Finding one another in a busy room Soundless words traverse and exchange An entire conversation with closed lips
(You over romanticize everything, itâs not that deep)
It was fleeting, it was fast A rush of emotion and passion An ever flowing river pouring with too much And we gave And gave And gave Ourselves to each other Until we had nothing left to give
(We fell out of love, donât try to overcomplicate things)
We chased the pieces The strays and scraps of what we once had And tried to glue it into memories To replay end repeat
(You tried too hard to fix things. It just wasnât meant to be)
Everything we had imprinted on our palms And in our chests And in our heads A burn left over from the fire we had And yet I do not want it to heal over just yet Even if it is just nostalgia I need a piece of what we experienced To know it was real
(It was all a waste of time. It got too messy and in the end, there were too many things to regret)
Iâm glad we once loved
Even if what we had lived a half life
At least we experience what seems so rare
To so many
(Why would you be glad if it ended so soon?) (It wouldâve been better if we had spared the hurt of loss and never had loved at all)
Without you I was alone, with you I found my home
Without you I was thriving, better off on my own
But through you I found love
I love myself more than you
With you I found myself
I guess I never loved the real you
I feel more alive like Iâve finally left my cocoon
Life is so different now youâve joined the pink white and blue
I guess itâs better to have loved and lost so I know how it felt
No itâs better to have never loved at all so I could be by myself
Thatâs selfish
Youâre selfish
No Iâm selfless, I chose happiness over you but thank you for the time for helping me realise
I regret every second
Well then screw you
