LOVE

What is LOVE?

like how can you describe love?

I'm talking romantic love, like Romeo and Juliet type love
not agape or family love..

i've been wondering for about a year and half  now

How do you know when/if you are in love?

Some weeks or maybe months back I was gisting with an ex..you know..the usual catching up and what not..
and somehow we entered the subject of love

I think it went from us talking about whether we loved each other and if we have loved any other since then...I forget the exact details but something similar..

He told me when you're in love, you just know

many others have said this but I don't understand it...how do u "just know"

I've don't think i've ever really loved before ....in fact..i don't even know, but I doubt it..
yea, I've said "I love you" before to some romantic partners.... either when they did something really nice...or before/after a long absence ....or a passionate moment..

and I've had it said to me a couple of times too...

But i still wonder about it, and how it happens or what it is..

recently, this dude i was "sorta talking to" (lol....isn't it funny the words our generation come up with to substitute "dating"?) told me he loved me...the first time he said it was via bbm...so I figured it meant nothing...and it was probably just all those mushy meaningless talk type things..

but then he said it over the phone a couple more times and I really wanted to ask him how/when he knew he was in love with me...or whether he was even in love with me...probably because I doubted he was really in love with me after knowing me for just 3 weeks...

but then I wondered if time is really a factor when it comes to love...

and then I wondered again what love really is...

and then I got a headache



But for all those out there who've loved before or are currently in love... How did you know when you fell in love?
How did it feel?

I'm just really curious
