Is it better?

alex-3 Poems

Is it better to have loved and lost  than to have never loved at all?  Well—you tell me. Every time I see that face,  I wish I could turn you back into a stranger— so the sting in my chest could fade  back into ignorant bliss,  unbeknownst to the pain of love. When I look at you I see the boy I told,  “I could never be loved,”  who smiled and swore he could see the love that exudes from the cracks of my soul , What beautiful words  that once lit up my heart, now make it scorch,  and burn. But even through all that...  I still miss you.  And I miss you that little bit more  when our song plays on the radio,  and when I watch our favourite movie—  again and again. I say, I hate you.  So why do I still feel sad  it’s over? So please tell me, because I still don’t know is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?
