Oh, my, gosh. The first time I read this (a week or two ago?) I didn't understand it. I'll admit it. I read it now, and it was so much more clear (I must be more mature now). The repitition of "I'm in pain and it hurts" is a bit like, "you can't just know I'm hurting, I want you to feel it too". There's no doubt, or "Oh, I guess she hurts." You state it plain and simple: I. Hurt. Saying "I love you" at the last time ties it up wonderfully.
