this is completely true. you bring up a very good point.
all of these what if scenarios are really too hard to explain.
love comes in many different forms and situations.
i don't beleive there is one defining quality of love.
i think it happens, sometimes it is returned, sometimes not.
sometimes it hurts, sometimes it feels amazing,
sometimes you THINK you are in love, sometimes you think you ARENT but you ARE.
in this whole debate people are just focussing on th one defining aspect that they believe the is.
it's totally cool that everyone has their own opinions about love ,and i dont think this debate could EVER be settled because there are SO many different scenarios and types of love etc. etc.
that being said i absolutley love this thread and i hope it stays alive

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.
