Im standing here before you with my heart in my hands.

So I read this quote once right?
And it spoke about how the first time you fall in love you give everything, that person has the whole of you, your quirks, your habits, your dysfunctional personality and all the parts you love about yourself. It's all theirs, your completely naive enough to give away your whole heart and your whole self until you no longer own any of it. But when it ends -which lets be honest, it will, nothing lasts- you have nothing left of yourself. And you have to re build yourself as this new lone person, and you may sit thinking ' do i like potatoes?' because you don't remember if the person who was there, before you gave away everything, really did like potatoes, or the sound of rain on the pavements, or the smell of grass. So when you fall in love again you cannot give everything, because you've given it all away before, you know better this time; you cant give away everything you gave away before because a part of you, no matter how tiny that part may be, is still left with your first ever love.
This tiny part of you that believes it really can last forever, and that the person really is totally perfect for you and they can't ever hurt you. This one part remains with the person, refraining you from ever giving as much as you first gave.
Well i don't want to give everything for you not to give as much.
But i need to make the mistake to know not to do it again.
People keep saying to me, hold a part of yourself back, don't give away everything. To be completely honest with you I don't know how to, its all or nothing I'm afraid.
So watch out.
