"It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all".... that's a famous quote I've heard... but I'm not so sure if I believe in it. I'm in love... truly, you couldn't convince me that I'm not. And I know that if I lost this love, I'd die (maybe not literally, but emotionally for a while.. yes) I have to say... to love is a great thing. It's the only for-sure good thing I have to look forward to.

I think that love is not caring what someone thinks about your "significant other" If no one else on the face of the planet even liked my boyfriend a little bit... (for some odd reason) I would still love him. Because loving someone isn't between me and him and everyone else, it's between me and him.

I've "lost" my love. Not emotionally, but physically. He moved to California. People say I'm crazy for staying with him, that I'm stupid, that he'll cheat on me (which he WON'T) I don't care. I love him with all my heart. Yes, it will be hard. But I'm willing to try to make it work. To not go for other guys, to trust him not to cheat on me- he promised he wouldn't with the promise ring he gave me. I don't think I'm throwing anything away in staying with him. I think that for one thing, I'm keeping our friendship going. We're best friends.. I'm probably his only good friend that he trusts with anything and everything. If we split up, things would be so hard.. I don't have many good friends I trust that much, not even any to hang out with regularly, he is the one I trust with my secrets, my love, why not my heart?
