Bleeding hearts from jumping too fast.

I was thinking along these very lines just recently, reflecting upon a relationship that ended. We did not "cut the strings gently" as I had anticipated and wanted. I was put in a position where I had to rip the barbed strings out of my heart with fierce force of will and let it bleed profusely until it could bleed no more.

I, however, still wouldn't change a thing.

I am alive! Which means I will experience (hopefully) pleasure, pain, happiness and sorrow. I believe,we must be willing to endure the deepest depths of pain in order to reach the epic highs of pleasure (love).
