I decided to distill what it is to be in love, and found there are three components:
They are totally sharing yourself emotionally and physically with someone, who in return sees you as being special above everyone else.
- With regular friends you share yourself part of your emotional self, and they don’t think much of it.
- With people you date you share some of your physical self, and they don’t think much of it.
- With best friends you share most of your emotional self, and they find you special.
- And with someone who loves you, you share all of your emotional self and physical self, and they find you exceptional.
Within these two selves is the entire essence of who you are. You stand before them vulnerable in every way and trust that they will respect, appreciate and protect you, because they understand and worship the treasure that’s in front of them.
And if they change their mind, now only wanting to see you as a friend; they have diminished your value. They saw all of who you are and chose to no longer cherish it.
They held your soul, and decided it lost its value.
And when you still adore them above everyone else, they're not the person you loved.
