The terrible thing about love is that it takes away your safety net, your balancing pole. Even the tightrope you walk upon will disappear beneath you, yet love expects you to keep walking anyway, arms outstretched, one foot after the other, on nothing more than air.

But perhaps Buddhist metaphysics could provide an alternative here - or, at least, offer a direction of travel.
