Long ago I read
it was better to
have loved and lost
than to never have loved at all
As a loser at love
I agree with that
and my heart goes out
to the many people
in this world who have
never had a chance to
win or lose at love
who pined for romantic love
all their lives
who saw so many others have it
in poems, books, movies
and in real life
but never them
who lost at finding the love
they never had
Bob Boyd
