at first i agree with the expression "love hurts" but not until i have puzzled things out about that very common expression! almost all of us are familiar of those two words and to some, familiar of the feeling itself! you said it right, it is nice to fall in love, its an unexplainable feeling as if describing it as being happy is an understatement. being in love causes you in euphoria, so ecstatic -- an extreme happiness is what you feel when you're in love, right? so based on that feeling it can give you, love is so good! but admit it or not, when you love, you also hope that that very person you love will also love you even just a bit.. you hope from the smallest thing until that person gives you a hundred percent of what your ideal expectation from him/her.. as you love, you have the tendency that your hope grows too. so basically, when you love, you also hope.. BUT if one day, you feel that one of your hopes is broken, there you get the expression that "love hurts".. come to think of it! its not actually love that hurts you, rather, its your hope that hurt you! when you hope too much, you'll get hurt too much!
to sum it up, for me, LOVE DOES NOT HURT, IT IS HOPE THAT HURTS!
