“But I don’t want to be hurt…”
Isn’t that a great excuse? “I don’t want to be hurt. I don’t want to get too close because eventually they’ll leave me or die, and then I’ll be shattered.” Sure, you’ll be shattered, but how much better to be shattered with the thought, “We gave it everything we had.”
The ones who really suffer are those who know inside that things could have been much better, closer, more exciting - but they weren’t.
