Than to have never loved at all..

Some would say, it's better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all,

Some would argue that one is lucky to have their heart broken
rather than never knowing what its like to fall

And holding on to the end of that burning rope,
while hanging on to every inch of sanity

Sometimes it ends up helping you overcome
a certain level of obscene vanity

Some question 'What is love?'  what does it actually mean?
To some, love is the reason the sun shines after rain

It's an addiction, a craving one just has to give in to
even if the injection causes excruciating pain

It is light and darkness at the same time, it's motivation
it has the power to cure as well as kill,

But while two people are together in the depths of love,
it's nothing short of a phenomenal thrill

And to never know the feeling or to never fall in love?
everyone deserves it, even those who are wicked

It is more powerful than any weapon, it'll bring to you to your knees
it is a force of nature, stronger than could ever be predicted

A broken heart is no joke at all, the pain is almost unbearable,
and picking up the pieces is often hard to do alone,

In this day and age, friends & support are a plentiful and willing,
but sometimes you don't want to pick up the phone

When you have love in your life, cherish and treasure it
for it may last forever or it may not last too long

Express it wherever, whenever and however as best you can
it doesn't have to be flowers, a poem or a song

At the end of the day, if you've known both extremes of love
you have lived life to the fullest, so don't worry at all,

For it truly is better to have loved and lost,
than to never have loved at all.
