Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
- Neil Gaiman
Have you ever been in love? Lovely, isn't it? It gives you solace. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone special can get inside you and comfort you and be with you. You suffer through all this loneliness, you tied yourself in shackles of the fear of getting hurt and then that one special person, special than any other person, comes into your life and frees you... You give them your heart, your soul. They didn't ask for it. They did something special one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love removes boundaries. It gets inside you. It fills you with this new hope and leaves you all happy and bright, so simple a phrase like 'I wanna be more than just a friend' turns into a charm working its way into your heart . It feels great. Not just in imagination. Not just in mind. It's a soul-renew, a real gets-inside-you-and-makes-you-whole warmth. I love love.
