Is it truely better to have loved and lost?

There's an old saying: "Tis better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all".

Is that true? When you're sitting alone after a hard long week, thinking of your lost loves, does it feel better then? Is it better on a Friday night when everyone else is out and about and you're ALONE once again? Is it better when you're looking over your life and realize that all of your past loves have found another to love and are living a life with some happiness?

Those that believe this, have never loved or been loved before. I have, and it's a beautiful and precious thing. And of the things I regret is not knowing or being able to keep that kind of love in my life. I hope that one day I will be so fortunate again. When it happens again I will hold on to it and never let it go. 

I would suggest this to everyone,  Love long, love deep and love hard.
If you're going to love someone, make it worth the pain.
Be good to each other.
