‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all

-Alfred Lord Tennyson

Just when you think you have nothing more to lose, you lose everything all over again. Maybe for that split second where the world seemed to spin in the right direction again, what was gained wasn’t for the better. Maybe it was just more heartache in a pretty box.

But let it be known that no matter how I feel in any given moment, I would still have opened that pretty box and cherished it. Perhaps, I will always be the fool. Or perhaps, one day, when I open that pretty box, it will truly become my everything.
