Lost Love...

Why is it this painful?...

I found myself asking that question late one night after receiving some news that proved more destructive than I could have thought. It's almost laughable... the pain that results from news that could be unspeakably good to the person who has effected it or the one whom it affects. Three simple words can make a world of difference in the way you see someone... in this case I'm not referring to "I love you", I actually mean hearing the words "I'm with someone".
Being secure in the fact that I am human and not as unique as the generic shows on TV claim, I think it's safe to assume that I'm not the only one who has tried to brush it off only to have it explode in my face... in short - love blows. Especially when it takes you so long to realize what your true feelings are that you miss out on whatever opportunity you might have been able to have.

[edit]
On a side note....... how can you even know if you truly like/love someone? Ignoring all the emotions that will surface as a result of natural attraction... how can you know for sure if your feelings for someone go beyond a crush or 'puppy love'? And whether or not you're sure; is it possible to know when - or even if - the person needs to know how you feel about them...?
Allow me to reiterate - love blows; even more so when it's lost love.


I always thought I wasn't the blogging type but there's nothing like a good rant to get you where you need to be.
