i have only had two true loves in my life. One was my 12year old dog who passed away last year and the other was a girl in high school who i think of to this very day.
when I get hypersexual and manic when I was younger it was always accompinied by the feelings of falling in love. for along time i was addicted to the feeling of falling in love and when that was gone so was the girl. I went through a lot of girlfriends.
I have learned to put up so many walls to my emotions because of bp i'm older now and wonder if i will ever love again like i did when i was younger. I still have the dream and love the high school sweetheart but even in my marriages my love has always been different.
so i find myself still in love with a dream and wondering if i will ever love again. what is love really?

Knowing that being with that person makes you a better person.
Falling asleep next to the person makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Knowing that you would do anything for them, and they would do anything for you.
Knowing what you feel is healthy, not obsessive. That you could live without this person, but it would be a crying shame to have to do so.
Love is giving when you want to take, and accepting when you want to give.
For me, love has been the ability to wait, to not jump in feet first and deal with the consequences later. To understand that this is the REAL THING, and that he will wait for me because his feelings are not born of lust and obsession, but of real love and respect. Knowing my feelings are real as well.
Love is thinking of your special someone and blushing at the memory of their touch, not because of the raw sexual energy, but because of the intimacy you shared.
Knowing your intimacy is love inspired, not lust impelled.
I have found my soul mate. I thought I would wither and die alone until I met this man. He was the exact opposite of everything I thought I wanted/needed in a mate. Show what I know, huh?
