Those who care too long, Those who hold too tightly. There is never an easy way to love. You can not approach it cautiously. It will not wait for you to arm yourself. It does not care if you turn away, it is everywhere, it is everything.
Love is the greatest of all risks.
It is not reliable, it is not cautious, it is not sympathetic, It is unprejudiced and unmerciless. It strikes the strongest of mind, And brings them to their knees in one blow. Even in the best of times, love hurts. It hurts to need, it hurts to belong, it hurts to be the other part of someone else, without either of your consent. But, it's in the total surrender of all defense, that we, no matter weak or strong, no matter willing or captive, no matter what, we truly experience love.
