The other side of the coin... The flip side...

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.

And with that piece goes a lot of your life…memories, movies u went to together , plays you saw, places you ate and then one day once things are all over they come haunting back…every time that song plays , every time that movie shows, every time you pass that place where you used to dine…Cities and places.,..tunes and words….all related to that one person

BTW They didn't ask for that piece of you. They just did something dumb one day, like call 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. It hurts. Its not a hurt you feel but more of a void -- a feeling of those times, those hugs gone and that path which you could have been taken left untouched. I don’t hate love. But I sure hate what it tends to do to people…

:) Nicely written! But its about looking back and feeling glad that you had all those moments instead of feeling bad that its no more there!
