Love has the power to make you, sometimes simultaneously, the happiest and most miserable you've ever been.

Edit: I have expanded it to read:

Love has the power to make you, sometimes simultaneously, the happiest and most miserable you've ever been. Anyone who doubts this indisputable fact of life has obviously never been in love. Or, at least, has never had her heart broken.
Pining for lost love, or love not yet gained; wishing for someone, and not just anyone, to come and save you; loving and hating every moment of your existence; feeling your heart's attempts to escape its cage; and never knowing when you will shatter - this is the nature of love.
You cannot control love. Like a spoilt child, love will do as it wishes, and woe to anyone who gets in its way. Love will fight you, clawing and hacking its way to the surface, leaving you a bruised and bloodied, useless hunk of flesh, should you try to suppress it. This is the nature of love.
Laughing for no good reason; feeling whole and pure and safe; knowing you could survive anything; being perfectly understood; and perfectly understanding another - this is also the nature of love.
You cannot help but embrace love. Like a soft, cool breeze on a hot, summer's day, love moves through you, refreshing and revitalizing you. Love will fill you, nourishing and building upon your very best traits, if you let it. This is also the nature of love.
And, sometimes, you will feel both pleasure and pain, both joy and sorrow, both life and death, and you will be grateful for it. Indeed, you will long for it, yearning with your very soul for the misery it brings you. Love can make you despise and cherish everything around you. Of all the gifts and plagues bestowed upon man, love is both best and worst. And that is the true nature of love.

i think it should be "you'll ever be."

not that i'm an english major or anything.

I didn't read your comment until I edited it.
But I like that idea immensely.

ha, way to take a lovely, impassioned entry and analyze it for grammar. Killjoy. :P I totally feel you on this one. :) And thanks for the note, your professor is ridiculous.

i only analyzed it when it was one line! i wouldn't have said anything if it was the whole entry.

Naw, I don't mind.
I like constructive criticism. If it makes the writing better, it's definitely worth hearing.

Zanzibar, thanks for calling it lovely and impassioned. ^_^
