Love and Heartbreak

To Love Is To Be Vulnerable

"To love at all is to be vulnerable.

Love anything and your heart will be

wrung and possibly broken.

If you want to make sure of keeping

intact you must give it to no one,

not even an animal,

Wrap it carefully round with hobbies

and little luxuries, avoid all

entanglements.

Lock it up safe in a casket or coffin of

your selfishness.

But in that casket, safe, dark,

motionless, airless, it will change.

It will not be broken; it will become

unbreakable, impenetrable,

irredeemable.

To love is to be vulnerable"

- C. S. Lewis, The Four Loves
