a stranger asked me a question about love

On Formspring. “And sure, you can “be in” love just like you can “be in” a pool; it’s a mass that can drown you, and give you that heart-aching fear for life and breath the moment it’s happening. It can drown out your thoughts and consciousness of the surrounding. But then you can get out. Sometimes with or without help. Before its too late. Or you can keep swimming. Or you can choose never to get into the pool at all. But that would be like never feeling sunlight on your face. And who wants that?”
