In all my previous relationships, I was able to keep a certain balance. Not give too much without receiving anything, not just receive without giving anything, not dive in too deep, not let my emotions get too wild and out of control, and so on. I was always able to remain in the middle ground: not too caring, not too cold either. Of course, that meant neither of them lasted too long, because apparently, that wasn't enough for the other involved part. But I was always ok, always in harmony with myself.
Not with her, though. With her, my emotions are all out of control, and I barely know what I want or what I think or what I feel. My mind tells me one thing, but I always end up doing another. I want to give her the world... and yet, it's usually her who does that for me. There is no moderation whatsoever, no middle ground, no balance.
Perhaps because there is no temperance when it comes to love.

I love her with all my heart. She loves me just as much.
I want to be with her. She wants to be with me. Both of us are single and have no impediments to being with someone else.
That should be all that matters, right? That should be enough for us to be together indeed, right?
The fact that the two of us have complicated pasts and complicates past relationships should be just a detail, a small, unimportant detail compared to how much we love each other. Right?
But you know the saying: the devil lives in the details.
