Stimulus Quote: "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"

—Alfred Lord Tennyson

I console myself with the fact that I have not been alone for my entire life (existence?). I have loved, and I know what it means to be loved in return. I am safe in the knowledge that I was once loved.

No more, however.

But I could not miss this, it would not as be as painful if I did not know what it meant to be loved. If I had never found the person I was most suited for, on the entire Earth.

But I did find that person. And then, I was stupid enough to leave her.

Was I so ungrateful?

But I left. I left her. Not because I was ungrateful; how could I not be grateful, with an angel by my side?

I left for her safety. She is safer without me, she always will be.

I love her. I always will love her, forever.

And it is true; its is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all…
