They Say

They say, "It’s better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all." I guess that all depends on how the loss occurred. Was it something that eventually faded away or did it end up turning, evolving into some form of hate? They say, "There’s a fine line between love and hate." There once was a time when you used to love me, way back when, and now you probably hate me because we’re no longer friends. But that’s fine, because I kind of despise you too, for all the pain you put me though. They say, "True love will never die and will always stand the test of time." I guess the love that I knew, never really was true, because if it was, then it would still be alive. There would still be a “we” instead of just you without me. They say, "Time heals all wounds," which is a complete lie. A total bunch of crock said in love’s demise. Although, it might sting a little less eventually given some time. But it will never completely mend and a part will always remain the same. It’s just something that they tell you, to keep you pacified. They say, "Ignorance is bliss," living without a clue. I wish I could live in bliss. How appealing that would be, to have no more painful thoughts and all hurtful memories freed. To have all of my worries be completely remiss. Please let me just dwell a little bit more on this...

It would seem love is worthless when lost... and it's sad when the loss hurts so much as to overshadow what 'we used to love about and in' each other... Doubled edged, but thank god for so... else we'd never really know, why we loved so large, in the first place. :) it's the space in between, where we grow... begin and end, don't make the 'substance' of what you lived, loved and learned. xo Great and heartfelt write.
