Love needs to be fully experienced from beginning to end in order to avoid lingering pain and open oneself up to new love. If a love is ended prematurely before running its natural course, people are left imagining all the possibilities of how it could have continued. Love should be enjoyed throughout, experiencing the good and bad times, and not cut the relationship short before it concludes on its own. Fully experiencing love and allowing it to complete its cycle is what frees people to find happiness again.
