"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love 'never' fails 1 Cor. 13:4-8

Yeah. I have finally felt love in the recent past. Can't talk much about it. But it was good. I learned a lot, but I have much to learn still.

I think in my case, attitude has been my problem. If I am the "innocent" adventurer, the fool as it were, the person willing to just be, and not expect love, but be OPEN to it, then it seems more likely to come my way. At least that is my current theory. Also if I remember that women are as confused as us men, and they don't really always know how they feel either, and they have their own fears that block them, and they are scared of commitment also, at the same time wanting it, then I think it is easier to persevere, and to sometimes see if a no is a yes, or a maybe.

I experienced love. And then I experienced that same love turning in to a friendship kind of love as we both sat idly by waiting for the spark to come back instead of trying to make it come back. And then I lost the boy that ever really loved me the way a girl is supposed to be loved, and I kick myself every day for being too fucking stupid to just try a little harder.

I miss him every day, every single day, and sometimes it hurts so much that it's hard to breathe.

But hey - we're just friends, right?

I'm one of those old married people that has completely unromantic things to say about love. When I was young I experienced the deeply passionate, loosing myself kind of love all the time. It never left me feeling complete. I hear so often people yearning for this romaticized ideal of love, where you years and ache every moment of the day for another person, and it just sounds so unrealistic

i have thought i was in love many times but only really felt it once.. and it IS that earth-shattering romantic love... the ones they sing sonnets about.. its like a fairy-tale come true... even after years of being together i still have butterflies in my tummy just thinking about him..

I have done a lot of stupid things in the name of "love". But, that's in the past.

The love I experience now isn't of fiery passion and endless romance, but then to experience only that is to not fully live -- my relationship with Sam is about a partnership, where we uplift each other higher than we'd be solo. All in all, it's usually rather low-key, but good nonetheless, which suits us well.
