"Love as if your heart wasn't fragile"

Lunanina's banner today had the following heading: "Love as if your heart wasn't fragile"...and i've had to ask myself the obvious questions of "why" and "how"...why, if you've been hurt, should you risk loving again, as if it was the first time? and how are you meant to love as if your heart isn't fragile, if it is? only those who haven't felt true and deep LoVe for someone and subesquently lost them can claim that their love is indefinite and their devotion absolute. For, devotion is closely related to loyalty- and those who have been betrayed in one way or another know not to trust as easily. And if you cannot commit yourself to full devotion, you cannot love to a complete extent. Well, that's the case with me at least. I wish that it were as simple as that- that you could just turn over the leaf and start all over again, but in matters of the HeaRt you cannot...and those who say that they can, are in denial or haven't ever needed to turn the pages to begin with.
