I don’t regret falling in love
Whether it was blind, or torrid, or accidental
I don’t regret loving
I don’t regret being the inspiration of stories, of art, of music
I don’t regret the inspiration that came from my deep passions and from my deeper heartaches
I count myself blessed to have lived several love stories
And to still be living one
Love is pain
Pain creates growth
Growth blossoms into beauty
First love
Last love
Love in between
It is still love
Still wonderfully complicated and messy and amazing
Memories I treasure
Memories I’m currently making
Memories I will have
There will always be a place in my heart for our love
Whether it is past or current
Some loves last a long time and then slowly come to an end
Some loves burn fast and bright, only to be quickly snuffed out
While other loves build, and continue building, hopefully for a lifetime
I love
Past
Present
Future
I do not regret it
