In love there are no successes and failures.
Love is not a performance or a competitive activity, in which you have to make a good impression or get a good score.
Love is something that you feel deep within yourself, a direct experience, which nobody can judge or question.
The only success or failure in love, if using those terms means that much to you, is whether you are able or not to acknowledge the love that keeps being there despite what you believe to be your successes or failures in love.
