love

love. the eternal myth. do we do ourselves a favor in falling in it , or actually hurting it?
why do we attach our happiness to someone else. can we live without it? how do people who are really falling in love feeling? i don't consider myself as 'in love' yet i would like to rip my heart away from its cage! sometimes it becomes so soft and weak,hindering my everyday life. sometimes i feel like i have no control over it, though it has been hurt many times,mostly from a person considered very special to it!
i would 'love' to believe i' 'in love' alas,mine is always from one side, never been shared. or is it a " crush" coz it sure does feel like my heart has been crushed really hard with the harsh truth of the carelessness of the other party :)
