About This Quote

To love is to have ancient wounds exposed to vicious winds and be caressed instead of burned. This quote sounds so bad because it speaks about having your wounds opened up and being caressed by someone else. The idea is that you are being touched in a different place than the place where you’ve been hurt. The wound that you have, which is now being caressed, was left open to the air by the one that caused it. If you are ever betrayed, this is what it means.

It means that someone has revealed your secret to others, which may leave you feeling humiliated. This can also happen with friends who find out something about you which you don’t want them to know.
