What If We Never Loved

How sad would it be
  if in our lives we never loved?

Who would we be
  if there wasn't anyone for us to love or love us?

How lonely would that make me,
  how empty would my life be, to be filled with nothing?

I don't want to think on it,
  such an idea would keep me from who I am, not in the master plan.

I need to remember this, when times seem unbearable 
   and I cannot rally against the storms 

there have been moments in my life when others were there for me, 
  with me in the fear and darkness, 

there was always - someone who loved me
  and someone for me to love.	

               It is better to have love and lost
               then to have never loved at all.
               From Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam:27, 1850
