What makes love strong can also make it painful.
A college boy, and she, a college girl –
We wandered in the autumn of enjoyment
And let our flags of ecstasy unfurl
It wasn’t what was physical about us:
The question that we answered in our quiz
That, although brief, reminded me forever
That perfect love is perfect, when it is
Love is perfect! I just wish I hadn’t lost mine to Virtual Insanity!

Sent a letter I shouldn’t have. And she broke my heart, because of a trip to Florida. A lot of misunderstanding. I wish I could go back in time. That and someone not believing in me. It hurts when the person you love the most doesn’t believe in YOU!

So true.
I’m sorry to hear that.

I was surprised at how often it had happened to me when I first started writing about it. I had a surprisingly large number of failed (or never-really-got-started) relationships.
Are they any of yours you haven’t written about yet?

If I count only actual love, the number is 4, plus 2 marriages.
I used “love spasm” to mean “not really love, but felt like it briefly”

I covered most of those in the dreaded “first real” series.
