Being spontaneous,
Falling in love,
Risking pain,
Risking it all.

Sometimes the best thins hurt the worst,
And all we can do is live to love again.

*laughs quietly*

It's still a very good - and as Mimi pointed out - deep poem with the meaning skimming the surface. Spelling mistakes can be worried about by the editors. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Mimi!

(Wow. I just noticed that I forgot the "g" in the word "things." Sigh).
