爱需要勇气。

多么老掉牙的一句话。

现在才慢慢领悟。

年少时的倾慕与眷恋，怎样的甜蜜梦幻或撕心裂肺，都一直是一个人的事情。

无论相思还是被相思，都是因为其中某个人年轻而丰盛的情感需要一个寄托。

人越长大，发现成熟的爱真的需要很大的勇气。

不是鲁莽强硬的那种，而是坚韧包容的那种。

因为爱意味着把心给一个人，而心是人最柔弱的部分。

付出，需要有勇气，冒着看不见未来不知道世间万千会带来怎样的变化的风险。

接受，需要有勇气，承担着风雨同舟的那份责任和守卫呵护那颗心的酸甜苦辣。

你，有勇气去爱吗？

 

"I am afraid," she said, "I have been told that if you really love someone you give that loved one the power to hurt and pain you in a way nothing else can."

"That's true," agreed he. "To love does mean to put yourself into the power of the loved one and to become very vulnerable to pain. But it is so happy to love. It is happy to love even if you are not loved in return. There is pain too, certainly, but Love does not think that very significant."

"Here is the seed of Love", he said to her. It was shaped exactly like a long, sharply-pointed thorn.

"The seed looks very sharp," she said shrinklingly. "Won't it hurt if you put it into my heart?"

He answered gently, "It is so sharp that it slips in very quickly. But, I have already warned you that Love and Pain go together, for a time at least. If you would know Love, you must know pain too. But when the seed of Love in your heart is ready to bloom, you will be loved in return."
