love is something that takes a second to say and a lifetime to prove. loving someone and being in love wth someone are two different things. you can love someone. i loved mike, but i wasnt in love with him. being in love is something that your parents are. lust gives you the same feelings as love, it is something you cant tell until the romance is over. im sorry, its not easy, you cant describe what it is or how you get it, its just there... and it can be a bad thing as well as a good thing, it just usually ends as bad in the long run.

love according to me :)

As far as the other stuff is concerned..you just like being around them, you can tell them anything whether it's how much you love them or that they're pissing you off, you can hate them one second and totally be over it the next, and even if you "lust" after someone else its not even worth a second thought because your love for this person is so much better..maybe im getting into the whole "true love" thing...i dont know. I dont think theres a specific amount of time it takes to fall in love, it depends on the people... i think its never really done so you cant stick a time to it. Like you start falling love with someone and its a constant thing that just gets bigger and bigger...or smaller and smaller..if that makes any sense. And you can
