A Definition An Early Valentine Did You Ever? Legend has it Love Is Real Love What is it exactly? St. Valentine's Day

Real Love Rose Walker in "The Kindly Ones", Neil Gaiman Love... 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 armour for years, 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. 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 gets 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 soul-hurt, a body-hurt. A real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love. I know this is a little depressing, but love isn't always grand and epic or sweet and romantic ... This is dedicated to all those who read this and have suffered from pain of parting and love before.
