Love is a roller coaster ride that allows lovers feel moments of sheer joy—the feeling that the whole world has stopped, and their love is the only thing that exists.  Hearts beat as one, and the rest of the world is distant, existing far from their emotional core.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYet love can also leave someone feeling that their whole life has been shattered; the world has suddenly become a dark, empty space seemingly overnight. The emotions of love cover the spectrum from total bliss to pure misery. These emotions cannot be denied; their strength over the hearts of lovers cannot be ignored. Some may yearn to feel the emotional high that love causes, but are scared to feel the hurt that sometimes comes along with it. Both the joy and the pain, though, are essential to being human.
