goodbye my lover

please excuse me tonight. for some odd reason i am in a strange mood tonight. i happen to have a lot of questions that only seemed answerable when the day is abit clearer. but in a philisophical face off with a friend, who i shall call cletus, he actually said a comment that made me go "woah"

woah as in a "there's more truth in that statement than i am willing to admit"
woah as in "that's a good argument"
woah as in "damn why didn't i come up with something as profound"

so what did cletus say? what was it that in my strange mood, it rocked me to my core?

"we only know when it's a true love, or at least a deep love we have for someone, when it hurts"

it's so true, it's so right, it's so spot on. you can try to argue the opposing argument to that statement. in fact i wish you good luck. i would love to hear what people have to say pro or against such a statement. but for me that one statement struck a chord in me. deep down. way deep down. pretty close to a nerve i tell ya. my eyes have been opened.
