"Love is like the rain. It comes in a drizzle sometimes. Then is starts pouring and if you aren't careful it will drown you." -Edwidge Danticat,  Breath,Eyes,Memory.

Response:

Yes, Pretty Much. It's like living in a well too. Or it's like your love bieng in the well. If it overflows, Your love is dead. If it rains, you have to hope it doesn't overflow. you have to calm it by taking buckets of water out. I guess love is a losing game. You play for the rare beauty and chance of it working out the way you wanted, but you can likely be hurt. Love is pain.
