Depressing

I enjoyed reading Lord Byron's poem "When We Two Parted" but it was so sad! I don't know why, but I seem to enjoy the sad, depressing poems more than the others. It's the same with "chick flicks" except that I can't stand sad endings. I don't care if the entire movie is sad but if the ending is sad I won't watch it again and I'll probably complain about how horrible it was.
I feel much more strongly when I read Lord Byron than I do when I read Shelley's poem. I think it might have something to do with making me aware of how lucky I am to have a wonderful husband and a happy life. I haven't lost someone like the person did in Lord Byron's poem, maybe I like to be reminded of it.
