Funny thing about love...

The funny thing about love,

The more we experience it,
the more we guard ourselves from it.
Just in case.

The more we let ourselves be vulnerable,
the more our hearts race in fear and excitement.
The thrill of the risk.

Love, like a double edged sword,
Which end will cut you?

You'll never know for certain.

The more we learn of its power,
we also come to learn the pain of it breaking.
Who would want to go through that over and over again?

Our hearts, like scars,
becoming thicker, guarded by a wall.

Sooner or later,
the pain subsides and we remember the joy.
We miss that feeling,
And the risk is worth it again.

Take that leap of faith!
