You happened to me,You scare me to death, you know. When you stormed into my life, you turned everything inside out. You upset all the things I believed about myself and made me think in new ways. I know who I used to be, but Iโm finally ready to figure out who I am. Cynicism gets tiring, Isabel, and youโve . . . rested me.And donโt you dare tell me youโve stopped loving me back, because youโre still a better person than I am, and Iโm counting on you to take more care with my heart than I took with yours.
Susan Elizabeth PhillipsI think this is the way love feels to people like you and me. Threatening and dangerous. We have to be in control, and love takes that away. People like usโฆ We can't tolerate vulnerability. But despite our best efforts, sooner or later love seems to catch up with us. And thenโฆAnd then we fall apart.
