There's a cliche saying about being in love, "you just know." It's terribly unhelpful and misleading, and somehow also very accurate.

The tricky thing is, you can have times where you think you know, and then later realize that it wasn't so. I almost wonder if you have to get a few of those "oh that wasn't actually love" experiences before the "you'll just know" concept will be possible. But that may just be my experience.

In my mind the most important thing is that you both feel equally enamored with the other, that each of you put an equal effort in, and that you're considerate of the other.


Damn, I was relying on that cleche' ..

Ruined it for me :-(

[opinion=mine]

"In Love" = Infatuation, Limerence, or "Puppy Love" caused by flood of endorphins in the brain.

"Love" = The reciprocated giving of comfort, devotion, familiarity, honor, mercy, respect, sacrifice, and trust.

"Lust" = Surge or spike in reproductive hormones in the body.

You don't have to touch it to know
Love is everywhere you go
You don't have to touch it to feel
Love is every second we steal
Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me
You don't have to touch it to be
Wrapped up in emotion like me
Everyone must feel how I do, yeah
Love is just to be close to you
Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me
And you know that love is love
It's written in black and blue
And everything you say
Must bring her closer, closer to you
