Love is love.

Thanks....for whatever it is worth, yes. Love is love.

And heartbreak is heartbreak.
Question: Does more come of heartbreak or love? Does more come from happiness or unhappiness?
Is our soul a mix of these things or not?
For me, my life has been shaped more by pain and failure than joy and success. I'm sure others are not so different.

Unfortunate events shaped lives, mine and others, perhaps yours too. The highway of life also has meandering paths that sometimes we wander in and at times get lost for a while. That shaped us for something more than the mundane. To know love for a while is good but to be unloved for the longest time after that love...that is bad.

So true. I don't think I've ever felt totally unloved. Somewhere, someone, has loved me my whole life. I'm not saying I loved them as well but in turn I have loved without being loved back. It's a rare event to love and be loved at the same time. But does that last? Is it really important for it to last? I really don't know. What choice do we have but to take it as it comes.

It has been said that to be loved and not love is better than to love and not loved. Blazing love does not last, its like a candle; it wont light your whole night through and when that dies, we light another candle...it could be for the same person, or it could be another...but it is love none the less.

good work grace....
well done...:)

Hi, Thank you so much for reading this dear Joetina Arc! I am so glad. Thanks for commenting too.

You are brave to come out of the closet...
but this is a safe and I hope an open-minded place

There was no closet Kitty. Just passing through, a one time experience, a long time ago. Thank you for reading and commenting...on this very early poem.

Written a long time ago, thanks for reading.
