Romantic Love, Spiritual Love

[Xan]

I mean just be in love, because this list of definitions is so shallow in light of the depth of your actual feelings.

Yes it's so... words always fall short.

I become concerned these notions will influence people into unrealistic idealistic expectations.

Let people be in love as they are.

I like to let people of possibilities they might open to, if they wish.

Gem, if your hopes have been disappointed that's unfortunate, but that's not everyone's experience.


Xan

thank you

romantic Love and spiritual Love, you have described really very well .. thanks for sharing .. nice post.. keep it up

Could romantic love and spiritual love connect to the same person? every sentence in that first post fits perfectly with me and my girlfriend.

Yes, of course... both can fit.

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory;
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense thy quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

I remember as a young man noticing that it seemed like everyone was saying to me "I love you........if..........."

Fill in the blank with anything, the point being there was always something, or at least it seemed.
Maybe it was me.

That's most of the world... love with conditions is the common experience.

Discovering that other kind is always a surprise.
