Love begins with an image, lust with a sensation........
It's not a necessity to be in love, you can't tell when you'll be in love, how it would happen or where it would happen. Love is a very slippery feeling, sweeps you off your feet and throws into a world of endearment, devotion, admiration, desire, friendship, concern, care, affection, understanding, unselfishness, kindness, solitude, compassion, adoration and romance.
Love brings a great interest and pleasure in someone. It leaves you smitten with that person, be passionate about that person and feel deep affection for that person.
Sometimes, we mistake love for lust. What happens when Infatuation makes lust seem so much like love?
