What a privilege it is to have loved and lost Perhaps nostalgia's victory stemmed from my escapism My heart bled so much it endeavored to stop feeling Yet that is out of the question for me. I incorrectly assumed that the yearning I felt was a want to be loved Now I know I long more so to love...and to love deep This desire runs deep in my veins and cannot be bled out I cannot outrun what is embedded in me...and I cannot withdraw what I so happily gave away

To have loved and lost
What a privilege it is to have loved and lost Perhaps nostalgia's victory stemmed from my escapism My heart bled so much it endeavored to stop feeling Yet that is out of the question for me.

Perhaps I will always love you, perhaps one day I will stop but whatever the outcome, I will be ok because I don't regret it
