“Have you ever been in love?àHorrible, isn't it?It makes you so vulnerable.àIt opens your chest & it opens your heart.àIt means that someone can get inside you & mes you up.You build up all these defenses., in fact you build up a whole suit of armour, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person no different from any other stupid person wonders into your stupid life.àYou give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day like kiss you, smile at you or tell you they love you & then your life isn't your own anymore, you become sad and depressed. Love takes hostages.àIt gets inside you steals your happiness and leaves you crying in the darkness.àA simple phrase like Maybe we should be friends turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts, not just the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a get inside you and rip you apart pain.à”
