Love doesn't hurt.
Rejection, betrayal, fear and abandonment are painful but if you look deeper you realize they are not part of love.
The negative emotions come from unspoken words, unmet expectations, or disregard of someone's feelings. And sometimes just from plain misunderstanding or foolish citcumstances.
So, if you brush your bruised ego, hurt feelings,unreasonable pride and silly expectations aside you realize they have nothing to with love.
You love someone because you see some depth and something special there. Your feelings of care and compassion don't change because of something that person says or doesn't say, regardless of something that person does or does't do, regardless of whether that person is here with you or not.
Yes, the pride and the ego and the expectations get in the way, but they are just like clouds in the sky. They may hide the sun for a while, but you still feel the warmth and see the light.
The pain only comes when you are trying to deceive yourself that you don't care.
It's like trying to convince yourself the sun doesn't exist while you are staring at it.
