People have different definitions and views of 'love'. It's a word that is used far too much but, in most cases, it derives from the mouth, not the heart. I'm not sure what love is, I don't know if I have been there yet, or if it actually, truly exists. I have fallen in lust, of course, but I think that whatever love is, it will stay with you. Call me a romantic, but I think you are in 'love' when that person's touch goes deeper than your skin and reaches more that just your heart. It is encrypted, irremovably.
Today I asked my friend if he was in love with his girlfriend. He said yes.
Then I asked him how he knew it was love; to which he replied, 'I know, because whenever I touch her, my heart beats faster and I feel like I've been shot everytime she cannot see me."
I don't know. Maybe I am a cynic, but it all sounds a bit mechanical and cliched to me.
I don't know if I've had the feeling so many people claim to have fallen uncontrollably in. I just don't think it will be as glamourous and life changing as people expect.
I have felt deep adoration for one person in particular, that is the cloest to love I have
ever felt. I would have done anything to make him happy and he influenced me to do a lot of things. Maybe he took advantage because he knew how I felt for him but, like a moth to a flame, I was drawn to him.
I do not know what I am trying to say, nor do I know what my point is; maybe I don't have one, but I do find it annoying how people have this rose tinted view of 'love', because I think that word carries more than one feeling- and they are not all good.
