“Because you’d forgive your first love anything”

Every cliche about first loves is true. That's why they're cliched. The first cut is the deepest. Tis better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. Love is blind. You always hurt the one you love.
Isn't that last one just the saddest idea to think about? Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable around our significant other is so integral to truly falling in love, but once we do, there's no coming back. We cannot hope to spend our lives invested in another human being unless we take down our guard walls and reveal our most intimate selves to them. This requires such a leap of faith, such trust, that if broken takes months - even years - for us to recover from. How can it be that it can take even longer for a heart to mend itself than it took for it to fall in love originally? How is that fair at all?
