Is It Really Better To Have Loved & Lost?

I have loved and I have lost

But at what irreparable cost

Several years of joy for a lifetime of pain

A fleeting moment of sun squinting through the rain

Chance day dreams destroyed by vivid nightmares

An actual life replaced with unanswered begging prayers

A memory of so many smiles drowned within a sea of tears

Was losing that love really worth the hurt felt all these years
