Loving someone means caring about them deeply. Being in love with someone means you also care deeply about them but you also can’t and don’t want to imagine your life without them. It also means they’re the only person you want to be intimate with and you’d rather not be intimate at all with anyone, if it’s not them.
At least that’s what it means to me.
It’s more a feeling than anything else, it’s very visceral, once you’ve felt it you just know what it means. It’s like those butterflies in your stomach, your heart beating fast, your breath catching in your chest.
It’s not like that for everyone and it sounds cheesy but it’s true.
Awesome!
