You can fall in love in an instant.
It's letting go that takes time.

And it means that someone can
get inside you and mess you up.
You build up all these defenses.
You build up this whole armor, for years,
so no one can hurt you,
then one stupid person,
no different from any other stupid person,
wanders into your stupid life....
They do something dumb one day,
like kiss you or smile at you,
and then your life isn't your own anymore.
You give them a piece of you.
They don't ask for it.
Love takes hostages.
It gets inside you.
