Real love doesn’t say that I am ‘in’ love with you. I never understood why people said that. This implies the possibility of one day being ‘out’ of

love. Heart love is simply, I love you. That’s it. No escape clauses necessary. The phrase falling in love suits this illusion quite well, because they are indeed falling into an emotional trap or hole, whereas with real love, you are rising to it.

People say that because most often love isn't eternal, it's like a powerful drug, hits hard, lasts a while and then fades, it's what makes us want to breed.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Indeed. AKA lust.

@Magenta Not necessarily, just because someone falls out of love doesn't mean it has been for lust all along.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Yes, but the way you explained it up above, is more about lust. Love is in the heart.

@Magenta Love is in the brain, and it fades, those lucky enough develop a mutual dependency that is mixed in with whatever love they have for each other. Those who are unlucky are in love with the idea of being with someone who they can love and be loved by them but eventually realize that person is not what they want from a partner. Lust is a short time need, easily satisfied and normally people dont stick together for a long time over lust.
