Dil dooba, dil dooba, neeli aankhoon mein yeh dil dooba…
Have you ever been in love?!
It makes you feel so vulnerable. It opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You thought you had built up all these defenses, and you thought nothing could hurt you but it just take one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it.
It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind.
It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.
