Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so
vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it
means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all
these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so
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 don't ask for it. They do 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 a simple phrase like
"maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" 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 body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart
pain. I hate love. -Alisa Perne

yep... true.. veri true....
