beautiful wordplay but no, love is not all about ache- i doubt if it’s really related or not. it’s much more than anything solely related to pain. although the whole world takes it that way – bt the poets who write love- they will tell you it’s simply beauty and no more.
I’ve been thinking about this question. My heart has ached a lot recently. It’s like using a new muscle. 12 years of marriage and it didn’t ache once. It had virtually given up trying to beat.
What’s a heart between beats? / useless wind-up mechanics / faulty, a still lump of desire, shaped / by struggle, tireless in its longing / some molten rock, spiked with shards of glass / broken words, silence of salty tears / frozen into piercing ice / and where my blood should flow / I got silence and confusion… / What’s a heart between beats?/ Mine – a coiled snake ready to bite / – a lump of hurt, confusion and anger.
There r many mediocre things in life…love shouldn’t b one of them…
If it’s not passionate and fierce…
I doubt..it’s love:-)

So true. A girl wants to be everything in her mans life, otherwise what is the point.

That’s really beautiful. Have not seen a better and simpler definition of love. No lofty promises here, just fluid honesty and truth.
