Yes, people are born; people die. Relationship begin; relationships end. But love is in us, not "out there" - the experience of love is the experience we create inside. We can either turn our love on or not. We can't "lose" it. Even if the object we chose to love is gone, we can still keep the flame of love alive. There is always someone or something we can love/at any time/anywhere. Others loving us is their experience but us loving them is ours. Therefore we're always in charge of our love -- nothing to lose.
