Love Takes Hostages

Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite author ever wrote :

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.You build up all these defenses, you nuild up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then 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.
They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then 
your life isn't your own anymore.
Love takes hostages.
It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple like 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."

What is written there just happens to be so true.
Love takes hostages and the hostages is... yourself, your days, your dreams, your life totally.
How you give someone rights to drag you up or take you down.
How sometimes you eat the pain in order to love.
I don't know, but though it takes hostages, it shouldn't break you down.
Choose the right person who will take you as their hostages. Choose who's gonna worth what they take; your freedom, your time. Choose those who appreciate you, even when all you do is just whining.

And stick with those who do, who never let you go no matter how really hard the situation is.

Make sure you are the happiest hostage of the right person and make him your hostage too in return.
Two hostages in one love sounds just nice.
