In love, like or lust?

I was just thinking...how is it possible for a person to fall out of love if he/she really ever fell in love.

Doesn't make sense?

Lemme put it this way...we love our family..and no matter what shit our siblings do( believe me when i say my brothers are total asses but i still love 'em buggers), we'd still love them (this logic applies to me so im assuming it applies to the majority of the population). Sure, we might hate them for a good looong while but we still love them in end anyway.

So...by extension of the same logic...if we really fell in love with someone, we'd still love them no matter what.

Well then, how is it that marriages don't work out and couples who swear their undying love and devotion to each other fall apart? The question thus remains, did they really love each other...or did they just think they were in love but were probably in like or lust (in my opinion, it's more likely the latter. haha)

Shouldn't they just carry on loving each other after each nasty spat rather than split up? And even if they did split up, shouldn't they carry on loving each other since love is supposedly eternal?

*Just in case you were wondering, I am of the opinion that you need not be together to love somebody. Love is NOT a zero-sum resource, in my humble opinion.*


Anyway...I guess the next most pertinent question would be...have I ever been in love?

That's a good one.

And my million dollar answer is...I guess I've merely stepped on it a few times. (if i did, wouldn't i be married by now? I don't believe in giving my toys and stuff away for free, u know.)

So maybe...we should just say "I like u and so totally lust for u" instead of "i love you" instead.

But that's so spoiler and totally trashes the mood...So i guess, I'd still stick to the good ol' fashioned " i love you".

So Mr Mimosa, I DO love you...so very much too. :) Honest.
