I've learned over my life, "Love" is an abstract, personal emotion. One can love a child, a dog, a friend, a relative, an object....all can be loved and yet, all are loved differently.
When it comes to personal relationships, "Love" is not always being "In Love."
It can start as a friendship, may grow into infatuation with some feelings of love. Less than often gets to being "In Love." It can also start as lust which rarely goes anywhere because you rarely get to really know each other except in bed.
“Love at first sight” in reality is not "love" it's only infatuation. You know only that there is some emotional connection.. yet, know little or nothing of the person beyond that. Love is like a seed...planted, and if nurtured properly...grows into a strong but fragile plant.
A "Love Obsession" is not really love but becomes a materialistic feeling of "ownership" where realities can be blinded.
Unconditional Love???
The reality is, there is no such thing as "Unconditional" Love.....
With "ALL" Love. intentionally or not, we place conditions attached in one form or another. Most parents say love of a child is unconditional.
It is true to some extent but even then, many parents with multiple children, don’t always love each child exactly the same. At times, that "unconditional" love diminishes when long term problems arise. . (drugs, jail, etc..)
Everyone's definition of what love should be, or how to love is as different as their perspective on life.
Sensuality is truly "unconditional". You are born and die with it. Whether alone, walking in a crowd, or with someone you don't like...you can't turn it off....happy or sad you are still sensual within your potential level. All you can do is try to suppress when unhappy to a small degree. Not until death, the "Aura" of Sensuality still emanates from one's body.
When in a loving relationship, and the two are at similar levels of emotional need (sensuality), the love returned is felt by both, is a truly beautiful thing.
Whether "In Love" or "Feel Loved," it doesn't guarantee that your relationship will last. It only means you “may” be emotionally compatible. Unfortunately, being "In Love" is not enough to keep a relationship going. You can love someone dearly but you don't feel the love equally returned by your partner. You can love a person but in time you find because of some other traits they possess you can't stay with them and the "Love" ebbs and dies.
As I said, when a relationship is good is beautiful, but when it ends, we can't always deal with the hurt. Unfortunately, "No One" is exempt from a lost love.
"Friendship vs. Love"
Friendship is a quiet walk in the park
with the one you trust.
Love is feeling as if you are the only two around.
Friendship is someone gazing into your eyes
and your knowing he or she cares.
Love is someone gazing into your eyes,
and it warms your heart.
Friendship is being close even
when you are far apart.
Love is still feeling his or her hand on your heart
when the person is not near.
Friendship is hoping that he or
she experiences the very best.
Love is bringing him or her the very best.
Friendship occupies your mind.
Love occupies your soul.
Friendship is knowing that you will always
try to be there when needed.
Love is when giving up everything
to be at his or her side.
Friendship is a warm smile in the winter.
Love is a warming touch that sends
a pulse through your heart.
Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares,
a tender laugh which opens your heart,
a single touch that melts away your fears,
a smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven,
a voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth.
Friendship can survive without love.
"Love cannot live without friendship."
