“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.
Ohhh, love.”
