“You give your heart to someone, hoping to Christ they take care of it, but you have no control. It doesn’t matter how much you love them, how much reassurance you give them, or how many promises they make you. Six months from now or an hour from now, they can leave. They can betray you, stomp all over that fragile thing you handed over to them, as many times as you let them, and convince you to forgive them just to hurt you again. They can look you straight in the eyes and tell you they love you, knowing damn well what they’re doing when you’re not around is anything but love. “Or, like Travis, they can walk away because they think it’s best, and there’s not a thing you can do about it … except cry. You just cry until it doesn’t hurt anymore. That’s love. You give your heart away over and over to be bruised and shattered until one day you find someone who finally—finally—protects it.”
