Don't regret having cared for someone. There's no shame in having poured out your love on another soul. Even if you were rejected, even if they wasted it, even if they betrayed you, that doesn't mean your gift was any less meaningful. It may sting when you first think of how your love was not accepted, as if you'd shot an arrow and missed a target widely, or perhaps as if you'd provided a pearl to someone only to have it crushed underfoot.
Still, keep loving. Keep caring. Keep sharing your roses and pearls. Don't shut up your heart. Don't let your treasures grow stale, for those who love freely nurture youthful hearts.
