Love and Pain

Love and pain,are they one in the same?With both tears can fall like rain,could hurt,pain,and joy all be the same?Does the darkness swallow all except for brief rays of hope,or perhaps the pain can make love grow,is the pain the way we know what was,what is,to better prepare for that to come,or is love a dim ray of hope,just a cruel joke we wait we hope for love to grow but pride and prejudice get in the way makeing us say once again maybe perhaps another day the pain will turn to love as rain to sun love and pain one must have the sun one must have the rain perhaps their is no true way to understand love and pain.
