"Happiness with a person is too good to be true - it's unfathomable that a person is genuinely concerned over you and has no ulterior motives that will cut you down eventually. That's when we realize the extent of the previous damage, and just how broken we are. At times, a previously broken heart has absolutely no idea how to respond to genuine care and affection, which is truly unfortunate. The person or people from the past who've hurt you still linger, even long after they are gone."

When you truly love someone, you'll never stop caring. Even when they leave you broken, you'll still care - with all the broken little pieces of what's left of you. You can never stop caring. You just stop showing.
