without wanting to sound cliché, to me love is everything. Its something everyone should experience at least once in their live to have lived.

I've only been in love the once, but for me it was like nothing else. Pure happiness.

I've only ever been in love once, & I honestly felt like I could fly or take on anything! Unfortunately, she was one of my closest friends & she didn't feel the same way I did, even tho she knew how I felt & led me on anyway, so I ended up getting pretty hurt in the end. Still, I would not give up how I felt about her for anything, even if I had known how things would have ended up happening...

A-MA-ZING! I never knew I could be this happy, it feels wonderful to be with someone who understands me so completely, it feels wonderful knowing that he loves me, and in turn I want to do whatever I can to make sure he knows I love him so much too.

Love is weird and confusing and not always what it seems, if even there at all.

I know this is an English-speaking forum and that people here are unlikely to speak a relatively unimportant language like Portuguese, but I just can't not quote Camões:

Quote:
Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver,
é ferida que dói, e não se sente;
é um contentamento descontente,
é dor que desatina sem doer.

É um não querer mais que bem querer;
é um andar solitário entre a gente;
é nunca contentar-se de contente;
é um cuidar que ganha em se perder.

É querer estar preso por vontade;
é servir a quem vence, o vencedor;
é ter com quem nos mata, lealdade.

Mas como causar pode seu favor
nos corações humanos amizade,
se tão contrário a si é o mesmo Amor?
Basically, what he does there is to point out the contradictory nature of love, basing it on the "suffering/delight" dichotomy. I've never been reciprocated, but I've been in love, and Camões describes very well what I felt.

Every single time I've fallen for someone, they've fucked me over. So for me, loving someone means nothing more than getting hurt.

I'm sorry to hear of all this love = pain thing

I believe it was constant happiness with a drops of anxiety. A tightness in your chest. Then when it's gone, A little empty.

Frustrating. I've had several crushes, but love has happened only once.

I've been in love once, and she was straight. First it was pleasant, I was very happy and all that. Then when I realized it would never happen it was just agony.

love can only truly be called love if its reciprocated surely? Otherwise its merely strong affection isn't it? At least that's how I see it anyway. It takes two people to be in love.

For the longest time being in love felt like waiting for the other shoe to drop...

It depends either it's returned. When I was in love with my best friend and she didn't feel the same it felt like someone had taken to my chest with sandpaper, and everytime she walked by or stood next to me there was an icy breeze that hit right on the raw skin.

WOW, that was angsty, lol.

But when it was returned, I spent a long time in bliss. However, love is easy; relationships are work. I love my boyfriend, but things get hard sometimes. To me, the proof that we love each other is that we're willing to work through those times, for each other.
