I hadn't seen her in a decade. But doctors gave her months to live. Her mom didn't like me, but finally relented. I was so overjoyed to see her again, I wanted to tell her everything. I didn't ever want to leave her side, though I knew I had to. I genuinely feared where her soul would be, because I wanted confidence that she'd one day have a glorified body. She wouldn't have to suffer anymore, in this life or the next. Huntington's had ruined her. But she was still dear to me.

She was bedridden and helpless, and could do so little for me. But her happiness that I was willing to take a whole day of my life to return for her, when I'd been denied the chance for a decade, because she meant that much to me... the elated smile on her face had to suffice.

I cherished this moment with her, knowing I wouldn't get another. I wanted to kiss her, but refrained because I had hay fever. She was dying anyway, but I didn't want to give her a cold and have it be my fault.

I wish now I'd been feeling better that day. I would've kissed her. It would've proven to her beyond all doubt that a man could still love her. Her worthless ex-husband had failed catastrophically to demonstrate the same.

It was the second time someone dear to me was on death's door. But this time, with Merre, I at least got to say goodbye. In 2013, Emily was gone before I had the chance. She made a stupid decision involving drugs, and paid the price.

I now use both women to guide my decisions with others. Sunny may have chickened out, and left me for a local man in China, but she was being pressured by pretty much everyone to do so. It's not like it was even a real choice. All I learned from that is that seeking love in China is a very dangerous proposition, with a high risk of failure. But if she and her new family ever found themselves trapped in Florida, I'd risk my own safety for that family. I may have been abandoned by her, but I wouldn't want to abandon them.

It is both paradoxically a joy, and a pain. And can make you loyal unto those who can do very little for you.

Having someone that has your back like you have theirs , knowing they want you like you want them, someone that removes selfishness for you the same way you do for them , it won’t always be perfect but you know they love and respect you and wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize the relationship you have together , someone that truly loves you will wear your shoes before making decisions, they will protect you like you protect them , when it’s you and your partner vs the world , that’s what love feels like , without any of that you have nothing

Like you’ve lost control. You have to kinda give it up and become somewhat submissive. You lose yourself a bit. You’re trapped in this committed feeling but its your fault cause you hold the key but won’t let yourself out cause you kinda wanna be locked up. You can’t resist things you’d normally resist because you love them so much so you kinda just let them have their way. I mean you still stand some ground. But not your full ground like before love hit

For me, I smile unconsciously whenever I see him or think of him, and my heart feels full, or swollen if that makes any sense. It hurts a lot because I've never had requited love, but it feels special to have it anyway, almost like an ache, and just deep. I find myself wishing so hard that he's happy.

lol, I'm tearing up just writing this. It makes me cry a lot too, clearly.

My goal in a future marriage is to focus on compassionate love and social delight and not on passionate personal bonding cause that would be too interdependent and self-sacrificing if the relationship turns sour for some reason.

Your body actually releases dopamines. It gives you the illusion of being secure. High energy, as if you can walk on water, and many more. It’s a love drug.

On the flip side if your feelings aren’t reciprocated it’s why a person feels such crushing loss. You lose that “feel good” high too.

Cassie88 · Answer

For me it's overwhelming. When it happens I just want to devote myself to the other person, look after him/her, and do everything I can to make sure they're safe, happy, and know that they're always loved. I don't expect anything in return, and just want to be sure that I'm there for them if they ever need someone for whatever reason.

Bliss, happiness. Its euphoria. It clouds your logic and reasoning. To be genuinely loved by someone is knowing they see you for who you are trying to be and accepting you without judgement. They see your heart.

To know love is to experience all. This includes its vices- pain and sorrow. Love requires sacrifice, which is why loving someone can be so hard... its putting another persons needs before your own.

I've only ever realized I truly love someone when it hurts inside.

Your heart jumps in your chest when you think about your so. You get butterflies every time you meet. Kissing feels more passionate, touching each other turns into a desire. Life becomes more brighter, happier. You share the sadness, happiness, problems and even sickness. You feel comfortable talking to each other about anything. You want to spend your life with this person. 🥺🥺🥺🥺

It’s easy and it feels safe and it feels secure. It’s a strong feeling for them and a strong trust for them, and it makes you super super happy.
