I think i can safetly say that I've been in love once. It just sort of struck me one day....you're thinking about that person...and it just hits you. Wow, I'm in love with her. Kinda cool, but kinda scary. I'm no longer with that girl, but everytime i see her it brings back good memories.

Twice

I’ve been in love twice.

The first time, i’d hardly lived enough to have such excessively fond feelings for anyone, much less be completely lost in love the way i was.

The second time is… now.

Within a few minutes of our first meeting, i knew he would be special to me.

After a couple months, i knew he would leave an indelible footprint of wonder and joy in my life forever after.

With the passing of a few months more, i knew that i loved him. i was terrified. It wasn’t what i wanted, or thought i needed, or could handle. It was far too real, too deep, too much.

But he was braver than me and was the first to express his love for me. That love was against all our expectations for each other and over the lines of we’d assured each other would/could happen between us.

He wrote songs for me.
He wrote the music to go with the songs and had his band rehearse – and recorded the songs, his love songs to me. Some are slow and tender, some are wild rockers but all of them were from him to me, love songs, all.

I wrote stories for him, small gifts of memories of our times together. I tried to get the emotion right, to express the intensity and the bondedness we feel together. I don’t know if I was successful but he likes them and that’s all that really matters. We’re soul mates, he and i.

Yes, I’ve been in love twice.
Once long ago.
Once now… and forever from now.

We were friends first. We met online. He talked to me and listened to me. I was with someone else at the time and that person was often inconsiderate of my feelings. When that person hurt me, my love held me while I cried. He never tried to influence my decisions, never told me I was wrong, just told me he wanted me to be happy.

It became second nature for me to run to him. I began to feel flip flops in my heart when he came on line. I started to want to be with him more and more.

I broke up with the other person and left the chat room for a while but I continued to talk online with my love. I was sure I was falling more and more in love with him but he was more cautious. He kept asking me how I could know I was in love with him. I just knew he was the kindest, wisest man I had ever met and could talk to him about anything and everything.

Finally we made plans to meet in real life. As soon as we saw each other, I walked into his arms and I knew it was were I belonged -- it was so natural, so right. And with the first kiss there was never again any doubt.

As our love grew I began to realize that I have never really been in love before. I have loved and been married for different reasons and thought I had been in love. But this is so much different and I Know that no matter what happens between us - I will love him forever.

I think for each of us that it is a different experience. Love is something not bounded by words alone, nor actions. It is emotion, feeling, thoughts, actions and words wrapped into one and much more. Love is unconditional and caring and respecting and honest and very very telling and real.

I have been truly in love three times in my life.

The first time, to my ex gf in college, is the first time I really was in love. Before her I thought I was in love with someone but it wasn't LOVE. It was love for the experiences, times and exterior shell of the person. When I was with her, I loved the WHOLE package. She was her and I was me. She loved me for me, did not try to change me nor I her. She accepted me with all my faults and I her. I felt a special connection with her the moment we met, but never felt the "love" until quite a few months afterwards.

The second time was to my now ex-wife. I felt the same "connection" and knew that we were going to have something special together. Little did I know how much that my love and OUR love for each other would cost either of us. We grew together and were inseperable, in so far as that we shared everything. One day that disappeared from her side. My world was shattered. We divorced. But later I realized something that I knew all along. Things happen for a reason.

The third time is right NOW. She accepts me for me as I do her. I trust her with my life as she does me. Our love for each other is unconditional and without question. We share and care. We agree to disagree.

I would say that the first two times I was in love were real. Though the second time it was a painful exit to the love and relationship. The first time was much easier due to circumstances and the growing apart, the reality of it, and I am glad that we both realized that. The second time was very special and unique. The love in the second time was one of the BEST and WORST experiences, feelings, emotions in my life. The third time, time will tell....................I will always love each them in some way, in some place in my heart and mind.

Did that help? Love is much more than feelings and words. Much much more..............
