Your friends can defend your lover, and you listen to them. But even then that feeling burns through every human moral you've felt, and it dehumanizes and will burn you leave you desperate and helpless to the other person. Because you can be too selfless, and sometimes you deserve to be selfish, and do what's right for you. That's why love hurts, and love sucks.
