Love Bites

I read somewhere that intimacy is directly proportional to the willingness of two people to be hurt by one another. I would add that it is directly proportional to the unwillingness of two people to inflict hurt on one another.

Having borne the hurt and survived, I can attest.

Maybe love is knowing there is darkness and choosing to stay in the haunted room and fight the ghosts with someone.

Maybe love isn’t.
