Losing love

Is losing love part of life's lesson
to help me on my way?
to teach me how to cope with pain
to live from day to day?

if I have loved and lost
and seen it crumble to an end
will my aching broken heart
ever start to mend?

And if I do manage to survive
to get through all the pain
will I ever be strong enough
to fall in love again?

Or will I forever feel
the darkness and despair
the emptiness in my life
because you're no longer there?
