I thought I knew what love was.
But now Love has become an intangible game.
It felt like I was in a search for love.
Now I realize love is not what I was looking for.
The rules have changed.
What I am looking for is maturity,intelligence,and durability.
Someone that will enjoy the thought of me being around.
Love is something that comes after you've realized you have these things.
The word Love gets tossed around so much when your young that no wonder so many of us get confused.

Now all I feel is pain when I think of I love you.
All I hear is an empty phrase.
Love is the tenderness that develops after you realize that you are connecting with someone and the chemistry is special.
Love my friends is earned like trust.

    yeah as a teen its something else that drives you than what love really means.

    Affection, commitment, companionship, passion etc.

    man I love your post.
    this makes me think of me and my ex. (which makes me a bit sad:P)
    and this also reminds me of me thinking that it is possible to love more than one person at once, like family, friends,...
    I guess I see partnership as something else, more "concrete" or so. and not for now:P.
    it should def. include love :) :)

    in the meantime I hope to meet /know people I can share love with
    I don't care how people call it, really

    It takes years and years of experience and growth to discover what love is. and what dimensions it can take.
    and I'm not there yet, not at all :)

    DayLightSun - this entry is so beautiful - and just summarizes what i have learned and what i am feeling today. i don't know what love is, i never felt it - i thought i did when i was younger - but now i see the idea of love, from youth is not going to carry me through any longer - as i am now 30, and possibly looking for a life partner, i see that 'love' is not what it seemed to be. there is a loss and sadness in this, but also a new challenge. i just wish i was more 'same page' with some of the men in my life. some of them just don't get when to quit intellectualizing, and when to start loving, literally. now i see an ocean of complication, while looking for love. but also while focusing on myself - i am actively fulfilling most of my needs now - so the type of partner i require (definition of) is changing along with this. so then love - i would say is transformative in all ways, with it, and without it. thank you for your words of clarity, and pain. pain and pleasure like love and hate often are not too far off from each other. i hope you have found what you are looking for.
