Why Yes, Bono, I Too, Will Never Have My Heart's Desire

No sleep tonight.
So when you get time...if you want to have an idea of this pain of which I'll never be able to describe accurately.  Go listen to U2's "All I Want Is You".  Listen all the way to the end, and pay attention to the hoarse desperation in Bono's voice as he cries out the words towards the end of the song.  That feeling.  That feeling in which your heart is broken beyond repair is one I used to think I knew.  And maybe I did.  But it is made twofold by death and the inability to contact the other half of your heart, even if just to say you wish things were different.
