People on CT are always asking... is it love at first sight? In my eyes, love has to be earned. It is not love at first sight, although it might be lust. Love grows with time. I asked a friend once, what is love? They said something that has stuck with me since. They said love is trust, someone that is honest with you, can make you laugh and back you up. It was the back you up part, that got to me. I was in a 20 year relationship and I have never had that. The trust in a person, that they would truly back me up. I want that. I want to trust someone with all my heart.
I also feel that love is accepting that person for who they are, goofiness and all. And actually enjoy them for it. And the willingness to communicate. Am I asking to much? Not in my eyes.
