Does anyone believe that true love exists? Where your mind and soul, your everything belongs to that one person? Where you can't wait to wake up just to see their face? That they consume you. They are your every thought....Or am i just fooling myself? I really do hope it exists and that i find it one day

I do, Lass. I do.....and I have the string of horrible relationships to prove it. I never find people like you, willing to think it exists.
 
No. Because if there is such a thing, I've lost it, and will never have another like thet.
 
Nope. Not the way you describe it, and not as a long term, forever and ever kind of thing.

No, thank god. I am in love, but my mind and soul do not belong to him, I can face the morning even without his face, the thought of him doesn't comsume me, and he isn't my every thought. But I love him with all of my heart. My true love makes me happy, makes my life fuller, but he doesn't constitute my everything. We are not one, but two, walking side by side.

My concept of true love is slightly different.

I would not say he consumes me. That is more on the side of obsession to me.

The thought that I might have to live my life without him in it is the most frightening thing I can think of. When we first met, there was a click. A feeling of completeness, after a lifetime of feeling empty, like I had just been going through the motions before I met him. He is on my mind often, but not in my every thought. While I want the last thing he hears to be my voice saying " I love you " ... he is not the first thing I see when I wake up. ( That is usually my cat's big ass when she sleeps by my pillow with me ).

True love does exist. It is real. And you should never stop seeking it. It will find you when the time is right. Believe me.... I have been there. I am there right now.

Maybe I am being naive when I say that I do believe in true love.

The love I feel for him transcends all boundaries. The love we share takes my breath away, lingers all around me when we are apart, and touches my heart, body , and soul.

I knew when he came into my life that it was true love...I dreamed him into my life.
 
Ohyes Lacy true love does exist. Like Silver Veil said there is just this click... when you look into each others eyes you see love looking back, you see eternity. When you do find it, and you will, give in to it, let go of anything that has happened before, dont let the past spoil your future. Because the only feeling more intense then finding your true love, is realizing that you have let it slip away. That is a feeling that lingers for eternity.
 
True love DOES exist, but it's not an eternal fuzzy kind of feeling. There is warmth and tenderness in true love, but that doesn't mean that there is excitement in each waking moment. There is excitement and wonder in true love, but there is also times of quiet. Most importantly, there is commitment in true love.
 
Yes.

Ask any mother. Though I'm not one myself I've been witness to it.
If you're asking about that kind of love for another person say a S/O. eh. I'm not so sure.

That's it exactly......and I have that too (apart from the cat ;) ) The moment when we looked into each other's eyes for the first time we both knew that this was IT. And the first kiss was just absolute magic, full of passion and tenderness and love, things I'd never had before. I can "feel" him all the time, even though we're not together in the flesh. Our souls are joined and will be forever.....:heart: :rose: :kiss:

That's pretty hardcore. Rather than ask if it's possible, maybe it's better to ask whether that's really desirable.

I do think people can find relationships like that, but I don't think a relationship can stay that way. It's way too oppressive.

I tell my lady love in a husky voice, "You *complete* me!" Then we laugh our asses off.

As it turns out, we're each pretty complete already, so we have a lot to offer each other. It is very liberating as well as flattering to be loved and wanted rather than loved and needed. It's nice to feel like someone is with you by choice rather than necessity (and vice versa). She is not my world, but I would not risk our relationship for anything in the world. I also know, without ever needing to say, that we will always be there for each other. My passion for her is deep. She is always in my heart, and often in my mind. Yet I retain my boundaries and remain myself.

I guess what I'm saying is that no matter how wonderful a person or relationship is, you can't expect to be emotionally overwhelmed by them continuously for the rest of your life. That is emotionally exhausting and draining, (among other things). Also, although we're apart too often, I do not wish I could spend all my time with my true love. It's hard to have life without love, but it's even harder to have love without life.
 
no I don't

I do believe that I truely love my children - that's the only true love I know.

Very well put. I feel the same about my love. Though I do want him there in the mornings, and I want to see his face before I fall asleep, it's not essential that he's there. Knowing that we love each other is the best wish for good dreams I could have. Knowing that, on a bad day, he'll run over with Kleenex to dry my tears is a wonderful knowledge, and knowing that when he needs me, I will be there for him makes my heart glow. When I was younger, I had thought I'd found it. I was wrong... I know now that I have.

No, not any longer.
 
No.

I feel that in life you will meet many that you will love...heart body and soul.

But never would I want to think about the person 24/7. I want a love that you dont have to worry about. One where you just know will be there each day as you awake and still be there when you sleep.

Yes tyo love, no to the everytihing belons to that person.
 
I didnt until recently. Many things have changed.

I used to be a cold person. A product of a twice broken household with sibling rivalry that escalated to much violence. My emotions were buried, for the good of all, and I spent the first 2 years of my high school life not talking to anyone. I ate alone, I studied alone, and more importantly I was utterly alone. The same routine, every day, school itself was the only variation.

Thankfully for my sanity I met a friend my junior year, and began speaking once again. We are still great friends to this day, albeit our schedules keep us from doing much together.

Although now I was speaking, there were still many things dead in me. My heart the most prevalent of them. I showed no intrest in anyone of the opposite gender, none of them could reach anything in me.

High school grew into college, and near my second year of the thing was when she entered my vision. I knew not what awaited me.

I found many things in common with her, but unlike me she smoldered with an unearthly passion in all things. A dedication and drive that I have never seen matched in this mortal plane.

She awoke many things in me. My artistic side I never knew I had ... I began to dream, to paint, to write ... oh how I began to write. Through my writings I began to realize my affections for her.

One night, over a game of chess, she asked if I loved her. My heart and mind raced, but I knew no answer. After a brief period of painful contempation, a forced answer was anounced.

"I dont know"

To this day that is the most painful experience in my memory. That night and every night thereafter for two months I searched. I searched over and over in vain until I could search no more.

I found my answer, not in my head but below. She asked what I saw when I looked there, when I closed my eyes and looked deep within. It was her, and only her.

Everything in me this woman had awoken, my mind, my art, my emotions. I no longer can see myself in a life without her, at least not any life that I would wish to live. To her I have pledged my sword, my service.

All for her, always for her.

My greatest wish in life is now to simply have her in my arms, to know she is safe, and with me. To have her face as the first sight in the morning, and the last before nights fall - is a dream, but not one I can partake of. Sadly, great distance, and two seperate collegiate schedules keep us apart.

I know not if her feelings run as deep as mine, nor does it truly matter, for my place is at her side, regardless of what may come.
