Just wait till you have a lover die on you. ... For your sake, Friend, I sure hope that never happens.
I'm sure it will.
Unless there is a tragedy where both die at once, with any couple that has made a lifetime commitment, one is left behind to mourn when the other goes on to continue the next part of their journey. So no matter what my future holds, I'll either be the one on my journey, or the one left to mourn.
Why worry about what I have no control over?
When I said you can look as a positive or negative, it was more along the lines of hating the feelings, reactions, or experiences that come along with being love, or reveling in it.
When I was in love, I reveled in it, experienced it, and loved it.
When he left me, it hurt like hell, I won't lie about that. But I made it through, rebounded, and found out how strong I truly am.
