i read a post on love in a friend's blog. it seemed lofty and idealistic - but then again isn't that what real love is about? in all its forms, loving someone makes you vulnerable, you trust and in the process remove the stone walls and battlements that defend your beating battered heart, inviting them in to stay in the citadel that is your jaded heart. making it a more hopeful and beautiful place to live in. to be cautious is like leaving them outside of those defences and might as well not be called love at all. thinking that love is just some kind of game you're playing is even worse. its like shooting fire arrows and hurling burning boulders at them.
i have never thought of love or rugby for that matter as just some game. love's not there for people like him and you my dear old friend to trample on, its meant to be placed on a pedestal and worshipped as one of the greatest gifts bestowed on us by the Almighty.
with every disappointment, i build stronger defences around my jaded citadel. but its never closed and forever remains open - waiting for its Queen to claim her place. I will never take love down from its pedestal because love, even one sided love no matter how brief or fleeting is still committing to someone other than yourself and making that someone more important than your own personal well being -such moments make life worth living for. because what good is life if you live it selfishly?
my dear old friend, this quote's for you. sorry dude for copying it, i know you read here sometimes, but this friend of mine really needs it.
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
