Have you ever been in love?

"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 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. I hate love."

- Neil Gaiman 1960


Hmm... some quote I got about love. Hehehe... I think its pretty true. But then this view on love is only the other side of it. The side when people get hurt because of love. There is always the beautiful side of it. The side that makes us have butterflies in the stomach, the side that makes us smile at the sight of them, the side that us feel smitten when he/she does something sweet... ^_^

"Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense."

- Mark Overby


hehehe... Love is Beautiful.
