Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Loving someone, the speaker says, requires being broken open. Real love demands vulnerability, the giving up of defences and self-contained wholeness, and that opening can hurt. The line ties love to a kind of splitting apart, treating pain and surrender as part of caring deeply.
