Love is...
I feel that if you really love someone that you should be able to step back and let them do what they need to do. whether it be find themself, have personal space or whatever. "true love waits" I feel it applies in many instances. If you truly love someone you will wait for them. You will be able to wait until the time is right before entering any kind of relationship other than friendship.....
also, because Love is such a complex emotion which sorta kinda involves other emotions, its important to know if you truly love someone. love is many many things. and many different things to different people. but I feel that you have to be able to talk to the person for hours if not days on end with out getting tired, you can sit with them and stare at absoulutly nothing, thinking of nothing but them.....
love is more than a soft touch, or a warm kiss, its being there when stuff happens, its holding them when they cry, its giving them the space to try new things for themselves when they ask, and then helping them succeed, its being there to catch them when they fall, helping them pick up the pieces from mistakes they've made
Soliloquy - from Evangelion-R
Know this, know that there is mortality in every moment. The living infinity of possibilities ceases and dies and stirs no more and we are left with what we have become. But despair of this knowledge can do us no good and there is yet cause to hope. There may still be time enough for dreams and love if the apparitions of the past can be dispelled. For there is no betrayal more cruel than that of one that enslaves himself to the morbid past and loses the best of what he might have gained to the savoring of sorrow. Be not afraid and with glad arms embrace life. Its myriad pleasures and discontents. For, there can be nothing of happiness but that we hazard despair.
