LOVE AND BEING IN LOVELove and being in love. People tend to mix them up, but there’s a big difference between those two. People sometimes think that they love someone while they’re just in love. It’s understandable of course, but they should be careful. There’s a whole lot of difference and meaning when saying to a person: “I love you” or “I’m in love with you”. There are big differences. The first one is the beauty of the sentences and the words. The words I love you are more beautiful than the words I’m in love with you. One thing why people rather go for the I love you. Don’t think they’re only words. I love you should be said with meaning and feeling. It should only be said when it’s truly felt.
The second difference is that love is more serious than being in love. Being in love is the beginning, love is the serious, more grown part.
The third difference is that being in love is describable, love is unexplainable, the definition of those words. When you’re in love, you feel butterflies in your stomach, you always have a big smile on your face, that sort of stuff. Love just can’t be defined in words. But what I do know is that when you finally love the being in love symptoms fade, that’s the more grown part. It doesn’t mean you’re unhappy.
Then there is the difference that makes people not see the differences. It’s the feelings you feel with those things. It kind of takes me back to the definitions.
Being in love and loving look a like, but they aren’t. Try to see, feel and know the difference. It looks like it doesn’t matter, but it does. Unfortunately we see it when we stop loving and being in love, when we stop feeling both, feeling neither of those two, when we start seeing reality.
After all, love can be like magic, but magic can also sometimes be…just an illusion.
