Love and Regret

"I am in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you." - The Fault in our Stars

Love, like pain, is a feeling which demands to be felt. It is never a mistake to fall in love. The person you fall for, the place you fall in, the time when it happens, how things occurred, for what reason love developed, and to what goal your love aims to reach... Love is love and that is love.

Nothing in love is a mistake. Though frustrations are inevitable. Right person at the wrong time. Right time but in the wrong place. Right reasons but with the wrong person. etc. etc. We shall never deny the truth that we have felt love and were not afraid to recognize this despite the contradicting forces at work. Love does not have to last forever just to be labeled  love. Because when we love for a moment in time, we are changed and that change lives on withing us for a lifetime. 

Regret is a symptom of a love loss bitterly. The inability to say how you felt, the cowardliness to a acknowledge such a profound and beautiful feeling. Regret lives in us, swallows us whole and eats our soul from the inside. Regret is for the weak. Love is for the strong. A love loss is never a love loss, but a love loss  is a lesson well learned.
