Something so beautiful, yet it has destroyed so many hearts.

So many forms - romantic, spiritual, platonic, parental... and more..

and is love that hurts and causes pain, love? or is something else.. lust, control, manipulation, obsession. even just misnamed friendship..

I love my friends.
All of you.
The people i truly consider my friends are the people i truly love.
It couldn't be otherwise.
I'd do anything for you, i hope you know it. Seeing any of you hurt just kills me.
I hope you know that if you ever need anything, i'm here.
I love you all.
Parental love.. the so called unconditional love..
I have trouble with this one. I love my parents
they're young, but that helped.
even their divorce turned out to be a good thing.
But Some Parents... just don't deserve the title. controling, power seeking. Though we must remember they are just people too, it is hard sometimes, to understand that they have human weakness..
But still, i must insist that the ability to bear a child does not make a parent.
Spiritual love - i mean, not love of God, or Gods, but the love of the people you have a true connection to, the people you've shared lifetimes with.. Its the deepest connection. Don't let it pass you by.
Love. the real thing, the big one.
the one i couldn't possibly understand, being so young.
Thats bullshit.
That people who are alone, divorced, or should be, think they understand love, but refuse to believe someone our age, my age, could find such a thing, or understand such a thing. Its bullshit.

I know love in many forms..

The best form of all, though.. someone who is a friend, somone you have a deep bond with, someone who can teach you, and someone you can teach. Someone who can save your life, if you need it, change it, show you life's beauty. Someone who can make your heart ache, yet make you feel so damned good. Someone who can make you smile, and forget the pain for just a minute, just enough. Someone who will listen. Trust, and Love.. Someone you never want to leave..
that's love, in my mind..

have i found that?
i think i may just have, though i have no real point of referance..
but
"if this is a crush, i don't think i could handle the real thing if it happens" (chasing amy)

Love is alive and well..

I love you, my dearest..

post script ~ i had it, and i gave it away. I guess i fucked up, somehow.
