People say all the time that they’re in love. There is a difference between love and a crush. Love, the word, not the feeling, is thrown around way too much. Someone says they’re in love when they don’t truly know what it means, or what they feel.
Love is a feeling that cannot be controlled. Love is when even saying “I love you” doesn’t give justice to how you feel. Love is a bond that not even the longest distance can destroy or hurt. Love is the feeling of knowing that someone out there is thinking about you, someone who you will give your life for. Love is not simply a feeling of wanting to know them, touch them. Love is knowing them, love is touching them yet doing nothing sexual. Love is doing something sexual but not leaving after. Love is something everlasting, something that when true, nothing can can keep those two apart.
This is where my favorite quote comes from:
“A building is torched, all that is left are ashes. I used to think this about everything. Friends, family, feelings. Now I know that when love proves true, two people are meant to be together, nothing can keep them apart.”
