Feels better than anything I've ever known. It's better than sex and speaking about damn great sex too. People who love each never quit loving each other, even long after they go their separate ways. Love endures always, but relationships rarely do. Love feels great, and losing someone you love hurts. But, when you know and understand that if a person loved you at all they always will, it's easier to let go when it's time to let go. Particularly when you can feel the return after the fact from someone you love.
Yeah this is my thought. People talk about "what is love?" And "different kinds of love" But I think love is just what it is. There are no gradients and types. The love I have for my mother, friend, boyfriend, child.. All the same thing, but OTHER feelings and aspects of the relationship make it feel different. And if it's love, it doesn't go away, even if the relationship is altered by other aspects also.. Like pain or anger. If you "fall out of love" with someone, it wasn't really love. You might have loved being with them, or loved what they have your life, or loved the idea of love But love, by definition, is infinite.
