If love is so nice, tell me why it hurts so much?….as I listen to this song it finally dawns to me why! See when you like someone, you open up to them, you show them a part of you that endears them to you more…they see the good; positivity…but love is different.
When you love someone, you bare your soul to them.You trust them with your innermost thoughts praying that they don’t mock you; innermost secrets that they don’t betray you; expose your flaws and vulnerabilities and trust they will not exploit them.TRUST, oh boy how we misuse that word.To let someone in, allow them to see your nudity and hoping come tomorrow they will still be there when you wake up.
But then, hope is a fickle feeling; fleeting, unreliable because after all, we are human beings and something or someone will happen; more than we ever were, more than we may ever be! and just like that, everything that we build so hard crumbles!…sometimes its a crack that can be perceived and avoided but at times the walls topple all at once.
To know that this person was your world, that they were your waking moment, that they were a part of you, that without them the world would be bleak; that they would leave you in so much pain and despair is what shatters the little composure you had left.The very thing that could bring light in your eyes now fills them with tears.We trudge on trying to pull ourselves together, but then some scars never fade….
