love lost

Firstly, I am clearly no expert on the subject of love; it appears I am as far from it as possible. However, hopefully I can still impart some wisdom here that may at the very least help me and hopefully help others find some clarity after the love has been lost. The purpose of life (as least to me) is to find someone to share your life with; someone you can love who also loves you. For many of us who have found and lost that for whatever reason; life itself can appear pointless. I have loved and been loved once. I miss the love, I miss myself, but most of all I miss Chalice. When a relationship ends it can do a great deal of damage to one or both parties. While this is often inescapable; there is a way to at least attempt to minimise the damage. Communication: One of the most important aspects of any relationship. If you truly care about someone as you should still do if you were ever in love with them, you will make the effort to listen to them and to attempt to give them clarity. It takes two people to love; it may only take one for love to be lost. While it may be easier to protect yourself by blaming the other person for everything that ever went wrong or if you are that way inclined even attempting to hurt them and hating them; that is never fair to yourself or to them. I am sure this is not as easy at it sounds; but, unfortunately life wasn’t meant to be easy.
