Have-It-Not vs Have It

Having-it-not may not be as painful as having-it and yet can't really love it without being guilt-stricken or grief-stricken.

One of my girlfriends, due to a complex legal proceeding, ended up giving up her only son for adoption. The separation has definitely NOT weakened/lessened her love and longing for holding that little boy of hers. The thoughts of him brings excruciating pain.

Is love blind? Maybe. It is far better to have no one to love than having one that you can't love legitimately due to his/her marriage status. Is it possible to genuinely love someone even when the nature of the r/ship is morally wrong? True love has a price tag, and it is neither for cowards nor part-timers.
