When you open your heart to someone, you're also exposing it to pain.

About This Quote

When you open your heart to someone, you're also exposing it to pain. If you can't handle the pain that comes with love, then you shouldn't fall in love in the first place. People think that love is all fun and games, but it's actually quite painful sometimes. When you let down your guard and allow someone to get too close to your heart, they can hurt you really badly.

That's why it's so important to keep your guard up at all times. Even when you're dancing with your lover, if they suddenly pull away from you, don't be upset. It's only because they've just realized that they're not ready for commitment yet.

Love should be a beautiful thing that makes our lives better, not a painful one that leaves us broken and scarred.
