Huh? Why does the spring returning to it's original position imply anything
about loss? Loss is an energy balance and has little to do with the
physical position.

Consider throwing a ball up into the air. I think that you will agree
that there is "loss" involved ( the ball slows down by colliding with
and warming up air molecules ) and yet it will return to you nonetheless.

The spring warms up when you compress it. This is "loss" in that the
mechanical energy is being converted to heat. The spring returns
more-or-less to it's original position nonetheless.
