It takes someone special to love a person who’s broken; someone who’s willing to look past all the cracks and fault lines to see the person the fragments form in their entirety… It takes someone with patience and a gentle spirit… someone who realizes that broken people may appear sharp and hostile, but are in fact fragile and need to be treated with care…
But most of all, it takes someone who’s brave to love a person who’s broken because they will hurt you – even if they don’t mean to… There will be times you will try to hold them but they’ll be too afraid to let you close… Their words will be the weapons they use to push you away and they’ll sting you like splinters get under your skin… But if you are brave enough to try… to try again… to keep trying until you break through those defenses, you will find that a broken person will love you unlike anyone else ever has. Every fractured part of their personality will love you and reflect your love back at you a thousandfold. They’ll make you laugh, they’ll make you cry… they’ll be the biggest roller coaster of emotions you’ll ever know… but they’ll be worth it… so very worth it because their trust is worth its weight in gold… And with every part of themselves they uncover for you comes the knowledge that you are special… that you are their only one… that you are an explorer in an uncharted wilderness seeing a hidden treasure that nobody else has ever gotten close enough to see; that jewel of a smile that shines only for you…
