Horrible isn't it?
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which she find herself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night
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.
We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience
makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion
is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the
heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't
diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the
rest of our lives.
