    i love you,but im..............callin out.........callin out
  • lol Really interesting question, last time, and the first time I was ever in love, I got hurt so much that basically, now I'm done for a while. My excuse through primary school/part way through high, was that I was waiting for the right one, and I believed I found the right one last June, then things just went weird, and fucked up. So basically I felt like it was love, and so did she, but now it's so bad that I avoid talking to her lol Kinda weird I know, and it's a long story, and dw about giving me advice to talk or whatever, I've been through all that lol I'm not so much a drama queen on the whole situation lol

    But yeah, you don't really know whether your in love, it just clicks, and you know what it is when you feel it. And then when you feel hurt, that's when you feel it the most.. (And btw, I'm only in High School, Year 11 to be exact lol amazin eh? haha)

    Love To Be Loved

    [Aaaaahi, byeeee]

    So, you know how people are
    When it's all gone much too far
    The way their minds are made
    Still, there's something you should know
    That I could not let show
    That fear of letting go

    And in this moment, I need to be needed
    With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
    In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
    'Cause I love to be loved
    I love to be loved [x2]
    Yes, I love to be loved

    I cry the way that babies cry
    The way they can't deny
    The way they feel
    Words, they climb all over you
    'Til they uncover you
    From where you hide

    And in this moment, I need to be needed
    When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
    In this emptiness and fear,
    I want to be wanted
    'Cause I love to be loved
    I love to be loved [x2]
    Oh I love to be loved

    This old familiar craving
    I've been here before, this way of behaving
    Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
    Let it pass let it go let it leave
    From the deepest place I grieve
    This time I believe

    And I let go [x2]
    I can let go of it
    Though it takes all the strength in me
    And all the world can see
    I'm losing such a central part of me
    I can let go of it
    You know I mean it
    You know that I mean it
    I recognize how much I've lost
    But I cannot face the cost
    'Cause I love to be loved

    Yes I love to be loved
    I love to be loved
    [x3]

    I love to be loved
    I love to be loved
    Yes I love to be loved


    :)


    seriously...how do you know? you just do. that feeling of absolute contentment, coupled with excitement.....tis only the beginning. when you are at your absolute worst, your *ugliest*...when you are in the depths of despair, or feeling/being horrid....and he STILL is by your side, holding your hand...kissing your neck....telling you he is always here for you.....and you know it to be true, AND vice versa......THAT is when you *know*......you're in love. the rest, is just starters....lasting love is going from aperitifs all the way thru dessert and digestivi...at 90. :)


    If It's Love Lyrics
    Artist: Squeeze (Buy Squeeze CDs)
    Album: Frank


    (Difford/Tilbrook)

    If it's love
    That would really explain it
    How I feel like I'm covered in wool
    If it's love
    Then it's really exciting
    And my diary's become very full
    If it's love does it matter
    If I'm thin or I'm fatter
    If it's love then it feels like I've won the pools
    If it's love
    Then it needs some devotion
    And I feel like I'm walking on air
    If it's love
    Then I feel like I'm floating
    Through my world without knowing who's there
    If it's love someone slap me
    Is this me that's so happy
    If it's love then I'm laughing like I don't care

    If it's love then my teeth are clean for a change
    If it's love then that's why I'm feeling so strange

    If it's love
    Then I need it forever
    Like the beats that keep time in my heart
    If it's love
    Then I fall like a feather
    I'm an egg in the teeth of a shark
    If it's love I'm inspired
    I'm up late, I€™m not tired
    If it's love my world is about to spark

    If it's love love love love love love
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    maaan i made one hell of a boring thread :( i should've definitely put it into AET and called it "jokes about lust" oh well maybe another time.................

    but as you all writing in here love songs, i'm being bit random right now, will post this, as my vision of love:

    "Gently, my mind escapes into the relaxing
    World of pleasure, a pleasure thatll take
    My mind off the reality of my life,
    My past life... life as I know it now."

    nope. love is what remains when all that you just described is gone. you are in lust.

    when you would do anything to have them next to you and just be able to be with them. when you can't get them out of your head they're the first thing you think of when you're awake til you go to sleep and you physically ache for them to touch you and to be able to touch them. all i have to do is look him in the eye and it's like i melt, the bastard he he

    I would tend to disagree. That sounds more lust, like others have pointed out.

    I think love is when you can be allowed to forget them momentarily while you continue with your life, work, etc. But somehow always seem to come back to them.

    true but people have always said that love changes over time and what starts off as what i described ends up being what you just said.and he's not always in my head, i can get on with my life, he's still in my head way too much though.

    i guess its no big deal if i ever get married i just want kids. i probably never will though. ill just consider the kids i watch at my daycare job my own. some of them called me mommy. were with them for 8 hours they hardly see their parents. if i had kids i would of been a stay home mom if i could afford it. i would never want to go on welfare cause i really dont believe in it. i do feel bad for pll who are homeless and such but, anyway i hope i wont be lonely for the rest of my life. i try not to think about it. its nice to be single to but, when you get to be 40 you start thimking

    Not too good at this one, as my husband always chooses to live miles away from me. I'm feeling pretty crappy right now. I'm 39, and have s@#! for a marriage.
    I am a loser with high self esteem......

    Thats a good point. but I might argure that at that point, it isnt love. Its the possibility that is so intriguing.

    love is seeing the person for who they are...imperfections and all...and realizing u wouldn't change a damn thing...love is feeling safe and warm...and *getting the other person* - connecting in a way that's almost hard to describe...love is wanting the best for the other person...even if it's not best for you....love is flying across the world cause u feel all that and more :)

    If you love someone, you have chemical bond in your brain. When you are around them the bond is satisfied. When you are away from them the thoughts enter your mind to satisfy the desire to be with them and satisfy the chemical bond.

    All of the symptoms that people experience with withdrawal from love are similar in characteristics to withdrawal from recreational drugs like cocaine.

    Love is a really potent drug that can become immediately addictive. Never-the-less it is a drug and that explains the withdrawal symptoms.

    So, basically, what I mean to say is, if you have the withdrawal symptoms you are in love. But that doesn't mean it's the mystical, last-forever, fantasy love. That doesn't exist.

    This man gets it.

    :rolleyes: folks, i am still determined to make this thread funny, so

    i'm going to add a story called "That's love"

    An escaped convict, imprisoned for 1st degree murder, had spent 25 years of his life sentence in prison. While on the run, he broke into a house and tied up a young couple who had been sleeping in the bedroom. He tied the man to a chair on one side of the room and his wife on the bed.

    He got on the bed right over the woman, and it appeared he was kissing her neck. Suddenly he got up and left the room. As soon as possible the husband made his way across the room to his bride, his chair in tow, and whispered, "Honey, this guy hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw him kissing on your neck and then he left in a hurry. Just cooperate and do anything he wants. If he wants to have sex with you, just go along with it and pretend you like it. Whatever you do don't fight him or make him mad. Our lives depend on it!. Be strong and I love you."

    After spitting out the gag in her mouth, the half naked wife says: "Dear, I'm so relieved you feel that way. You're right, he hasn't seen a woman in years, but he wasn't kissing my neck....He was whispering in my ear. He said he thinks you're really cute and asked if we kept the Vaseline in the bathroom. Be strong and I love you, too."
