Not quite love...
Looking back on the situation with Matt and writing a whole paper on the true definition of love, I never really loved Matt (just as my brilliant housemates continually pointed out to me during the relationship). I returned the "I love you" flippantly. I was "in love" with the notion of having a person to kiss when I wanted and hold hands with, and **** and all that stuff...but that's it. I used him selfishly to satisfy my needs and led him on to believe that I loved him back. I must ask for forgiveness from God and learn to not do that again. Sometimes you have to learn by hurting others...I truly didn't mean it, but all I can say in retrospect is I'm sorry and I will try my best to never do it again.
