I knew someone who claimed he was in love with me once… a really bad high school crush He would call and leave weird messages on my phone, text me text me text me, demand that I “talk” to him even though I had made it very clear I wasn’t interested… he wrote me a really bad valentine poem about my eyes; it was borderline creepy. And not love.
If it was love, he wouldn’t have stalked me!
Love is wanting only the best for the other person, even if their best doesn’t include you.
And I believe love is a slow condition… not that you may not feel in love from the get-go, but that the more you know, and the closer you get to the other person, the stronger the bond, the stronger the love.
I believe love needs trust to truly survive. Without the trust, there’s no growth.
I’ve never had the romantic-love, but I’m not worried. I’m very young, I’ve got time, and if I never find it, I’ll be ok. Because I do have people in my life I would do anything for, I know that. And trust them to almost a fault. I love them.
