When you're in love, or think that you're in love, you become blinded. As the center of your life shifts to one specific person, your priorities are altered and fit to please them. When you care about someone more than yourself, it becomes natural to give without expecting much in return. That one person becomes your light, your motivator, your everything. They're placed on a pedestal so high that even their most outrageous flaws are seen as perfection in your eyes. They become your idea of "perfect" but when the cold, harsh truth slaps you in the face, you don't want to believe it. You can't seem to grasp the fact that they are bound to disappoint you. Maybe they don't love you as much as they make you believe they do. You start to make excuses for them to please yourself, to satisfy yourself, to avoid the cruel disappointment that is reality. You make excuses for their mistakes and shortcomings. When they give you nothing after you've given them your everything, you think that they
weren't able to give as much as you, that they
couldn't. While it could be because they simply didn't
want to. It's difficult to become aware of the truth. It's difficult to accept certain facts that will tear your frail heart apart, but the truth hurts. Reality is harsh. Your "perfect" person turns out to be just like everyone else, maybe even worse. They aren't infallible.
