does love always have to end in heart break?

Your sitting there one day on a park bench. Hand between your lovers and holding her close envisioning what people might: marrying and settling in a brownstone on the upper east side of manhattan, sailing away into the aegian, or having the best sex of your life because its someone you want it from when suddenly your dreams..your fantasies..what could have even been close to reality are shattered with the words no person wants to hear: " I don't want to be with you anymore". O this can take many hapless forms: " I think we should see other people, I need a break", or even the most famous, " It's not you its me" line. Now before we get ahead of ourselves its imparative to understand, saying these things is absolutely necessary if they are what you feel no matter how much you hurt the person. I'm not saying you should be a heartless, uncaring pig but to not be completely honest is wrong and misleading. So today's question in the search for understanding comes into play. Does love always have to end in heartbreak? I won't lie it's not easy. In fact it is very hard to not be bitter and begrudge the person who spurns your affections but neither of those words are definites which means it isn't impossible. It takes a power greater than most to accept that it takes anger and malice to hold together a grudge but the effort it takes to be optimistic not only flows easier but feels easier in comparison. I'm no saint and I'm no perfectionist but I try my best to make this effort in all my relationships the only problem is most people...or exes don't reciprocate this emotion..one can only hope that the effort is enough... to start. Does love always have to end in heartbrak? No it doesn't but it usually seems to. The anger heartbreak resonates is what people feel in their time of pain so realizing then and their that they have things to look forward has to be the first step to fostering hope.
