Have you ever 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 could
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 should-hurt,
a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.
