Forgive the preachiness or whatever of the following, i'm just providing background. When I was 16, my very first girlfriend was taken from me. She was the first girl I ever really loved, and I loved her dearly. I lost her to a drunk driver. I had told her I loved her- and heard her say she loved me- and told her i'd see her the next day, just minutes before she hung up the phone and had the accident... I had no idea I was about to lose her forever.
Would I be willing to betray her memory by saying i'd rather have never loved, then loved and lost?
Never in a million years.
And that goes for any other people I love or have loved.
