even if it breaks

after attending cut copy at circa and just going mad with my camera, i took a breather and listened. and they sang something that hit me, and got me thinking. the lyrics were if that's what it takes then don't let it tear us apart, even if it breaks your heart. maybe it only hit me so fast because i had just watched vicky cristina barcelona and the themes of the film also deal with the price of love. i am just wondering now, what would i be willing to give for love? would i want to feel love even though my heart may break? or am i that person that will fear it. that i will cower at the possibility of even a hairline fracture. i can't say that i can come to a well developed opinion because i honestly have never felt the feeling of true love, so i don't know what i am being brave for. but if this feeling is a big enough deal to be conveyed through almost every great film, novel, play, painting, sculpture, song, poem and dance or even have people go crazy thinking about it, loosing sleep, loosing appetite, then there must be something amazing about it. there must be something there that is apart of us. this may be a terrible analogy, but it's like getting your wisdom teeth out. almost everyone goes through it, but there's that small percentile of people who just managed to bypass it, never having to go through the painful, yet beneficial process. i will say, that i have gotten my wisdom teeth taken out, so thats one life experience i have been able to go through, and with smooth sailing too. so now i just gotta fall in love, and have my heart broken to determine whether it even compares to getting my wisdom teeth pulled.
