yes, because you can love someone with out liking them. i can honestly say that deep inside i love everyone for some reason or another.
but in love? i've only been in love once.

of course there's a difference.
if there weren't, wouldn't we all be *completely* wrapped around each other? not just in the sexual sense, but you know, the whole "wrapped around your finger" deal.
in love we are slaves.
love we are collected.

see? yeah.
|
yes. either that, or we would all be levelheaded about it...."collected," like you said, because we wouldn't fall IN love.
they couldn't possibly be the same.

I agree.
Currently
(as in, right now, this minute, this week, this time that's going by right ... now ...)
I love.
But I am not in love.
Because he is not.
So I can't.

I think in love is a better way to be.
But sometimes just love is easier.

Yeah, I think there's a difference. I feel like too many people think they're "in love" when they're not. To me, being "in love" means being willing to stick around after the candy and flower phase. It's a deep connection, and something that leaves you very vulnerable to being hurt if the other person doesen't feel exactly the same way.
And if you're truly "in love", you're not likely to get over it too quickly if things don't work out between the person you cared for. The healing period is a long process. It took me about a year.

there is definitely a difference. I've never been in love, but I've loved a lot of people. I think that to love means to just care about them deeply, like you would hurt for them if they were hurt or had something bad happen to them. I imagine that being in love would be something more than that. Like you wouldn't feel complete without the other person, like the two of you fit together and you feel like you need them in your life.

Loving someone is characterized by the willingness to die for them, being in love with someone is the willingness to live.

he says he loves me. i say i love him. but i start to feel like every pang of my heart is just for him...is that love or in_love? i left too much behind. it hasn't even been a week. the only thing that makes me smile is him; the thought of him, his voice, he was always as insistent when he hugged me. i wasn't ready to let him go. am i loved or in love? i am not ready to fall.

there's a gaping hole between the two.
You grow to love someone; falling in love is more inevitable, occasionally you slip off the edge and fall in love with someone.

but i ended up
silent and reaching
not a day passes
not a single fucking day
where part of me doesn't wish
to still be with you
the old you
the old me
that needed you
i guess it's just not the same
not how i wanted it to be
and i can't return it
so i just leave it
in the dirt
so familiar
a worm crawling
inching agonizingly along
the rain evaporated sidewalk
slowly stuck
if someone could pick me up
and put me back in the dirt
so sadly close to heaven
so easily discarded
and every millimeter that i inch
that's what love is
my smooth stomach stuck
to the sun-baked cement

crazy.. in love?
|
umm.. if you love, does that not put you in the middle of love, which mean syou are in love right? technically,
I believe there is love with passion and love without, and the term "in love" usually goes right along with want, and passion. My point? you are always in love, just not always with passion, and want... different types of love, no difference between love and in love... mw thinks anyway.. call me crazy.

how is it that I see you and I want to cover you in Man colors and speckle you with spots? I will wrap you in an untold story and swing and sway with the rocking of your crotch. I'll answer the phone in our lust filled passion and laugh at the way you balk. I'll drink from a glass filled with your warm charm and never dream that there will be a better day! I just may be in love with you, but I won't let it ruin the mood I'm in. I'll just relax in satisfaction and wonder if there is a better way.

loving someone always has a sneaking way of turning into being in love with someone; i feel empty without him but it's a better empty than being ignored.

This is something that very few people know how to define. And I myself will not claim to know how. All I can do is express my opinion.
Love is a general feeling that someone has. In its more simple form; caring (but a little deeper.) This is how we feel about most of the people that we allow into our world. Not merely coexisting with it, actually into it.
Being "in love" is something completely different. Therefore I do not believe that the two are the same nor do they flip flop. They do however co-exist. They have to. You cannot be "in love" with someone and not care about them.
As far as defining "in love" I believe it is impossible. One thing that I do think is that people confuse it with passion.
Passion is usually connected with something new, something different, or something taboo. And no matter what, passion dwindles. Passion is something that has to be found and cared for. It has to be nurtured. And that is not an easy task.
The problem I see with our society is the belief that being "in love" directly corresponds with passion. When that passion starts to fade, as it always does, we freak out. "Its gone." "Where did it go." "I don't think I am "in love" anymore.
The thing is deep down that is not the case. If you have ever been "in love" you know it. And even if they are gone you still know it. It doesn't fade. Passion is why we must work on a relationship. Being "in love" is why we do.

i take number one cause love is always harder to leave behind than romance.
so sad that
we both had the same love for
each_other
and there was still no way
we could make it work
there is always a piece of you
etched
on my heart
i'm about to get some more
new_ink
to stop the thoughts of you
from letting me forget
