I love the lines
"It's better to feel pain than nothing at all.
The opposite of love's indifference"
Reminds me of the saying "its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." and also at the end of Scarlet Letter when Hawthorne says that love and hate are almost the same thing, not opposites--that not caring is the opposite of both.
@mermy96 Eli Wiesel “The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”

I think that it means that only if you truly love someone can you feel such pain or happiness. Once you stop caring then there's no more love.
