Inquiring minds wanna know….

Is it really [i]‘better to have loved and lost’[/i]???

Or would it have been easier to have never gone there in the first place….

I’m sure sometimes a person can just move forward, holding on to the memories you shared….
But then other times the pain of loss seriously outweighs the good times you had…?

What do you think?

I had someone have an affair on me, we healed together, I think from the affair at times... I stayed, loved and lost, but also feel I have a love (now in friendship in a kind of trust we only know)... I won't give up the time we had.

I also know, we lost each other years later, and what we had found in each other become distant. Complicate that a thousand times, I became her best friend after we parted when she was losing her father to cancer. So the pain never quite outweighed the good times, we just had to adapt together as intimate friends. I knew her emotions as well I could and would listen.
