"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole suit of armor for years so 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 don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you and then your life isn't your own anymore."

-Neil Gaiman

Or something beautifully dumb like strike a conversation with you on a wooden bench for four hours straight, or walk with you no matter how far, or kiss your hand in front of God.
