Love is a strange thing. It’s consuming, yes. Sometimes it’s blind and intoxicating. Other times it’s freeing. It can make you feel warm and protected. It can make you afraid. It’s not ever exactly the same for everyone, but once you love someone, there’s a part of your heart carved out only for them. That’s why it’s hard to move past someone who maybe isn’t right for you. You’ve carved a piece of yourself for them and you don’t want to let it go. You don’t want it to have been for nothing.
