Love Will Only HURT You

Love Will Hurt You The Most…

Love will hurt you the most.
My best friend told me that a fortune teller told him this. I laughed, because I don’t really believe in this fortune teller junk. However, my best friend seemed so genuinely concerned about this that I couldn’t really tell him how ridiculous I thought he was being.

        Love

But if I could say something, I would’ve said something like this…
“Love hurts for everyone my dear. You don’t really need a fortune teller to know that.”
Boy, that line could win awards because seriously I’ve seen how love can make a person hate, and yet never truly despise. I’ve seen how love can turn someone completely calm into a wreckless, nervous man filled with insecurities. Love is a wonderful thing, and like anything wonderful…hardship is needed to cling onto its’ brilliance.
When you love someone, you’d feel like your whole life is in the palm of their hands – so dependent, so needy. And try as you may to control these feelings, they would keep coming. The need to always be together, and the near obsession to see the other smile just once. When you’re happy, it’s not really because your partner’s happy…it actually has to do with the beautiful feeling of knowing someone is happy because you are in his or her life.
Is love selfish? Probably. But it also makes us act unselfishly even if it hurts to do it. Even if your partner does not reciprocate the same amount of affection as you, you would still carry on with your fondness like a puppy to an owner who’s asked it to step out of the house.
Ah, love. It brings so much pain and yet, so many people yearn for it. I yearn it, and I already have it.
Love will hurt you the most,…but with it comes great happiness.
