Good read, even if I can't relate to your story. I guess, from your experiences, love is both a curse and a blessing: a blessing when they're around, but a curse when they're not. Even so, you are a fortunate man to have known true love.

this kind of love is a dying race. its extremely rare to find stuff like this that arent in movies anymore. and when you think you can never be happier, life punches you in the face and steals the one you love. I know from experience, just like you, mate 

It's sad that you had to clarify that you weren't talking about sex when discussing love for others.

Love is like a tumor. The more the other person grows on you, the more they hurt you. They're that part of you that you wish you never had, and once you get them removed, you never feel whole again.

Or maybe that 'tumor' isn't really 'love'. As far as I know, love is unconditional and unlimited mercy and affection. There's nothing about "their leaving hurts me" thingy in love. When our beloved ones is gone, their love is still with us. Instead of cursing because of that, it's better to thank for the great time they spent with us.

The word love has been desecrated and has lost its meaning to the majority of society. I am glad that you still hold the value of love as it is meant to be.
