I have honestly only loved one person. The way of it though is I didn't realize what love really was until I met him. I truely think that many times when we meet someone and it doesn't work out we had feelings for them and confuse that. The truth is if you stay with just someone that you have feelings for you cheat yourself. You make wonderful memories but you settle for something that is good for fear of giving it up and having nothing.
To love, as in to suddenly realize you can't remember life without them. Can't imagine life without them... even when you think it's over something draws the two of you back together? I truly don't believe you are alive until you feel it. To say that you live after it's gone though is difficult.
I had a friend whose grandmother died... her grandfather lived everyday waiting until he was with her again. So I'm not sure that the love is lost. It's always there with you and I'm not sure you continue one after that person is gone.
I honestly can only hypothesize however I've yet to lose my love and frankly though naively I must say I hope that I don't.
