Not much later, that same person hurts the other again, perhaps this time causing serious damage, an open eye once vulnerable and tender now mutilated by a fish hook that has now ensnared them, keeping them a prisoner, the once vulnerable of the two thinks leaving the hook in, is easier than taking it out of their eye forever. This time one of the two hurts the other in a fit of anger in the heat of an argument, the fish hook, more painful than any other hook in an eye. Then something happens, a small fight perhaps, they begin to feel a rift forming between them. A couple meets, falls in love and begins to hit it off, fitting together like the first line states.

The second line, “like a hook into an eye”, ouch. The ‘you’ could make the reader feel like the writer is talking to them, making a special connection that has meaning.
