Why must people keep a gate around their hearts without a spare key to share with another? How can something as beautiful as love, cut you deeper than any knife ever could?
That is something only those specific people can answer. We all have fences-- it's just a matter of who loves us enough to find away over them. It takes time, energy, and effort. Not many people try that hard to climb over; they just give up. They aren't worth it. If someone doesn't love you enough to deal with your issues and find a way into your heart and the depths of your soul, you deserve better. You deserve someone who will fight to break through those barriers to where they truly want to be-- in your heart. That's how I see it anyway.
The reason love can cut you so deep is because love, true love, takes all of you-- all that you have, all that you are, and all that you will be. You have to open up and trust fully, respect beyond boundaries, let your soul intertwine with another. You have to be strong enough to stand for what's right and weak enough to give in when it is for the greater good. You have to be strong enough to bend.
Love has the capacity to hurt you so much because we let it. We have no choice. We have to be open to all things in love, and that lowers our defenses until they are gone. Love blinds you and makes you see at the same time. Blind to the fact that that person is capable of evil, and makes you see that sometimes it is worth the risk to open your gate to let someone in. We are all different, but to love, we are all the same. All of this is, of course, just my opinion. I do, however, stand very firmly on this particular opinion.
