how do you know if you really love someone?

Love is an emotion. An intense and complicated emotion, but an emotion nontheless.

Technically, love is just a strong feeling of admiration.

You can apply that to anything these days. The whole L word is essentially overrated.

In regards to the ":fire:" going out, I think it's pathetic. Especially when people say the passion dies.

The way I see it is, when the passion dies, so does the relationship.

Do you even remember WHAT attracted you to her? That's the question you should be asking yourself.

People change, people die down. A lot of times, some people just act differently in the beginning stages of a relationship to keep someone around, and then afterwards they totally become their normal selves.

So, unless you give more input, I can't really say anything.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So essentially you don't believe in 'love'?

No wonder you're so lonely, Duo.

Come over, I'll give you some loving.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
