Is is better to have lost a love, than to never have loved at all? Holding on to what is needed so much, and loosening the grasp to let it fall? Sometimes I wonder what it's worth -- if in the end it only brings endless hurt. They say that time is the best to heal it, but not when a heart has been broke so many times before this. A person gives all their heart to just that one -- because they live for them. Out of the blue changes come, promises are forgotten and long gone, what is there to live for then? Is it better to have lost a love, than to never have loved at all? To feel the joy of someone's touch, then learn that memories are all you've got? Real love is so hard to find these days -- especially when others aren't in it to stay. They say there's a love for everyone, you will see it when it comes. It doesn't have a certain time to appear -- just wait until someday when.... Someday when.... for some, is never here. So would it be luckier to own a heart that never has to mend? Is it better to have lost a love, than to never have loved at all? Hearing I love you's that meant enough, and when it's over they were only false? Memories are hard to be forgotten -- they are buried deep within. They say a memory lasts forever, because inside of you it continues to burn. That once in a lifetime chance that awaits you -- it offers everything you hoped. The challenge is keeping it strong and true, with a love that's built from two. If it's real, how will you know? Is it better to have lost a love, than to never have loved at all? Feeling the pain of one that's gone, or yearning a love that may not exist after all? Sometimes I wonder if there is such a thing -- as a love that's truly meant to be. They say that somethings are worth waiting for, and too much will keep you wanting more. Love to me is one simple word -- filled with so many unanswered questions. Answers that can be heard, or hardly ever heard. Do you think it depends on the way you want it to turn?
