I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky



"Oh! I'm lucky in love!
When i think I've had enough
lucky in love
Yes, I've got the winning touch" 
- Lucky in Love, Mick Jagger

Lucky in love. My topic of ponder for the past few hours..  I was listening to this song earlier. What does the term lucky in love even mean? Is it that they've never had to experience real heartbreak? Does it refer to being able to bed girl after girl with no consequences? More like a love for women, not a woman? Like a Good Luck Chuck sort of thing? OR is it referring to a person who is able to love, but also let go without hanging onto a suitcase full of emotions? I wonder who came up with the term and for what reason..? Does counting yourself as lucky in love mean the same for each person? I, myself would count myself as being lucky in love, whereas i know others would see me as unlucky in love. Isn't that an odd thing?
Another thought - does lucky in love only refer to romantic love or does it extend to platonic? 
Throughout my hectic, scattered and so far short life, I've experienced so much love in so many different ways. Yes, some loves come to an end and often nastily, messily and hurtfully, but aren't you lucky to have felt that connection with someone? Real love, not clouded by lust and crazy attachment issues, is pretty special. I think, no matter if or how it ended nor platonic or romantic, you should count yourself as lucky for experiencing it with that person. So next time you think about shit ex boyfriends and girlfriends, best friends that you no longer speak to, stop focusing on the crap parts about losing them and start focusing on the crazy, amazing emotion that you both once shared. And if you have love, start realizing how lucky you are to be experiencing it.
