" Love shouldn’t have to be this hard. You shouldn’t have to work so hard to make someone fall in love with you. I ignored that voice.
Because love was a leap of faith, wasn’t it? It was risky to put your heart on the line.
Love could heal you, or it could destroy you.
What was braver, or more foolish, than offering up your heard to someone and saying, Take it. It’s yours. Treat it with care. It’s fragile and breakable.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I knew that because I was that fool. "
