Love Needs Only One Sentence

Stumbled upon the saddest single-sentence love story ever.

"Even though it's been ten years and I'm visiting
a town 100 miles away from where she lives now,
I look at everyone passing by, hoping I'll see her."

Sigh.

I guess not being in love kinda sucks at times. Especially when those days come around (i.e. Christmas, Valentine's, your birthday, etc). Trust me. I know. I've been there. But then again... being in love and being in a relationship has its tough times, too. The ups and the downs (Don't kid yourself. You know they're there.) will always have you running around or playing tag or catch-up or whatever it is you guys always play.

But that's nothing compared to being in love
without being with the one you're in love with.

To me, this has gotta be the worst situation of the three to be in. I'd say that it's a punishment far worse than death. And I'd never wish that on anybody. For nobody deserves to be put through a lifetime of lovelessness. And yes, it is lovelessness. Why? Simply because having love to give but not the person you want to receive your love, is arguably more painful than finding yourself not being loved at all.

That being said, not being in love
doesn't quite look that bad right now, huh?

And to be honest, it isn't. (Not unless you're lying on your death bed with nobody to hold your hand as you take your last breath, it's not.) Singlehood has its rockin' moments. I know I had mine. It was a time when I really had the time (and the heart) to build a great many healthy relationships all around me, time to pursue my dreams, time to invest in friendships that were important to me and all the time in the world to spend on pampering myself.


Looking back, I'll say that life was good. It was! (Not that life isn't good right now, of course. Haha. It's just a different kind of good.) And it CAN be good for you singletons out there, too. =)
