In my opinion, the reason for life is to live, to experience, to love, to hate, to win, to lose, to have something to look back on at the end of your life and think "I have lived".
So yeah, I'd say it's better to love and lose it. Of course, there are iffy lines if you lose your love through death, because then the implication is that if you hadn't loved them they wouldn't have died but that's a completely different kettle of fish. In the non-death case, I'd definitely say it's better to love and lose it though, because no matter what happens later, there will come a time when you can look back on it as an experience, to have lived, and if there's one thing I fear in life, it's that I'll never live at all
