Questions & Lyrics

I've been struggling with a thought/question lately, and yesterday one of my favourite songs further spurred my musings...

In "Fix You" by Coldplay there are these lines:
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

The bolded part makes me ask, does love go "to waste"? How could it be wasted that you loved something you lost? We all lose everything in this life eventually...so should we regret that we poured ourselves into something lost? If that were so, we can't love or even live at all.

But my burning and original question is this: If you feel that you no longer love someone, does that mean you never really loved them at all? Was that "love" just wasted time, effort, and emotion on both sides?

I'm confused. But whatever the answer is, everything I ever gave myself to has made who I am as a person, and I wouldn't change any of it.

I believe what you have experienced is something that you will learn from. Maybe not right away, but eventually.

Remember, God works all things for the good of those who love him. I do not believe for a second that love is wasted.

Nothing is wasted. Remember that God bring you to everyone in your life to help you grow, get heart broken, loose a job, loose a friend and that person will only lead you to the next person.

I have learned that there is a huge different between loving someone and being "in love". It's a huge difference. Remember, never regret anything that once made you smile!
