I am going to spill my heart here, so anyone not wanting a sob story look away now.
I recently split up with my girlfriend of 1 1/2 years. I split up with her because I thought I wasn't in love with her anymore. Recently I have a lot of time to think and I realised that I didn't know what love was, so how could I know I wasn't in love with a girl? I began to realise that it wasn't the girl I was in love with, but the feeling of hugging, sharing emotions, and quality time. The problem, as I have now come to realise, was that this feeling could be recreated by any suitably kind hearted girl. Now if any person could create this feeling then I doubt it is what most people would call love. I therefore feel that I don't know what love is, and won't do until I find a girl who makes all of the feelings above happen whilst, at the same time, i'd know that no-one else could match those feelings.
Now I know a lot of people have strong ideas about what love is, but I think it would be wrong for anyone who hasn't been in a long relationship to comment. Solely for the reason that, I have thought I was in love, only to have my mind changed.
I think love is inexplicable purely for the reason that everyone must feel love in different ways.
P.S.
Reading this back it sounds like I feel that spliting up with my g/f was a mistake. Although I was so happy, and everything seemed perfect there was that something lacking as explained above. I still get feelings of what I thought were love about this girl, but have come realise that until I know what love is, I will never know if these feelings are genuine, and it is only fair to stay apart for her sake.
