@sheepy Said I've had this arguement with a guy whose in a long distance relationship (And I MEAN long distance, I don't want to "out" them as one occasionally posts on here - but let's just say it can't get any longer distance without one of them moving to the moon
).
Anyway, he's all lurved up, and then there's me saying how I don't think I've ever been in love. He thinks he knows me better than me
, and when I posted this spiel on his website, he reckons for someone who hasn't been in love, I know way too much about it
I don't know if I've ever been in love. I used to think I have, and there was a time with an ex when I thought perhaps I was - but I just don't know.
What is love anyway. Can I say I know - perhaps not.
If though it is the feeling that when you are not with her, that there is something missing, if it is when every moment of the day, you wonder what she is doing, when whatever you are doing you think "***** would like this, or ***** would like to be here too, or ***** would be annoying me right now, not being able to decide from the menu - and more to the point, you wish she was there with you to annoy you.
When you phone her, and she is a long distance away, and the inside of you feels like it is being turned inside out, because there is nothing right then you want more than to be with her, and no amount of "talking" down the phone can take this place.
If it is when she isn't your g/f or wife even, but your best friend. If it's when you wake up next to her, and you know that there will never again be a lonely moment because you have each other, when you have a deep feeling of unconditional acceptance of each other, and whatever she does won't take that feeling away (Even if she started supporting Celtic) - then perhaps that is love, or as described as agape.
It's when you have that commitment, and you know that you're incomplete without that partner.
Guess really, when you reach that stage, you just have to go for it, and if it means moving mountains to make it happen - then you just have to do that.
What do you all think
Im in a long-distance relationship. I'd say I love her, though im not in love with her. We're both very committed, she is living in Australia at the moment and will be for another 33 days (not that im counting) but just because we are committed does not mean we are neceserrily in love.
I believe in love. And I believe I might one day be in love with her, though love and commitment are two completely different things.
