Love is one hell of an emotion.

You could practically says its the anchor that ties all human emotion together, because through love, you can feel just about every other emotion on the spectrum. You can be happy and feel euphoria, or love can leave you heartbroken and full of despair. Its crazy stuff.
Its our greatest need, as well as our greatest weakness as human beings.

That said, great write. A well played example of just how ironic the idea of love can be. Its a blooming rose of a thousand deadly thorns. In the scramble to obtain the bud, you may very well get pricked a few times :D

I'm all deep and metaphorical this morning.
