I cringe when my friends say they love their significant other at this age. Even though we are close in age our minds are not. I always said never say "I Love You" unless you mean it. But I don't think anyone my age will understand what I mean by that. They can hear me but it goes over their head because they haven't gone through "It". I'm talking about how you feel about that one person. You want to be near them, have them go to you with their problems, be on the phone and talk for hours, have them want to be with you, have them care about you, listen to you, and all of that. You want them. You have them. Then they leave and you never felt so out of place before, that you wanted to die and you think there is nothing else for you but them. And you miss and grieve them so much that you thought that was love. And you call it heartbreak. Well i'm here to enlighten you that, that was never love... It was attachment. This was attachment because you don't ever want them to be with anyone else even if it makes them happier. Be honest with your self and dig deep you would rather have them raped around your finger and give you the world even if they were not happy but never showed it. It doesn't matter because you have them. You tell yourself that you care but if it came down to it if you saw them with someone else and you saw them happy you would be jealous. Now this is attachment not "Love". Love is so much deeper and rare. They are so special to you. You are so proud of everything they accomplish. You don't get jealous because you trust them so much I can't describe. You don't take every little detail to heart, you don't over think. And you're probably thinking oh you're just talking about a healthy relationship. No. I am saying this is Love. I say this because you don't get jealous because even if they were thinking about someone else It doesn't matter because at the end of the day if your person thinks they can be happier if they leave for a different life, or someone new, And they made that decision. They did it for a reason. And that reason is to be happier because that's what everyone wants in this world is to be happy. So if they do leave there is no begging to stay there's no feeling like you're going to die without them. There is no hatred towards them. Because you want them to be happy. Even if you're not in their life to see it. That's Love.
