She has this bad habit of overthinking, she tends to overreact more than she should, and she gets a little insecure every once in a while. She'll be needy for your attention, she'll want to literally take up all of your time, and she'll require a lot of reassurance. If anything, she is everything you wouldn't want in a girlfriend. She isn't capable of fully trusting you, she doesn't know when to stop fighting with you even if she's wrong, and she has no problem pushing you away if she feels like you're close to hurt her. Loving her will stress you out, loving her will make you angry, loving her will break your heart at times, loving her will test you, loving her will challenge you, and loving her will change you. It may get so demanding that you'll be tempted to walk away, it may get so hard that you'll think about giving up, and it may get so complicated that you won't want to deal with her anymore. Loving her means you get to see her at her worst and most vulnerable and that is something that you'll have be strong enough to handle because she needs someone who's patient enough to understand why she is who she is today. It's not gonna be an easy relationship with her. But if she is in love with you, then she can promise that you'll be loved with such passion and intensity that you'll forget what life felt like before she came along because she'll always be there to put your heart back together after breaking it. Maybe she's not the best at being loved, but she's pretty amazing at loving.

There's a condition that happens when someone falls in love.
It causes us to think, say and do things that make no reasonable sense.
We 'put up with' things we normally wouldn't.
All just to try to preserve love.

Love is addicting.
Being madly in love is a reference to the reasoning condition of 'mad' as insane. Insane because a certain amount of sanity is lost while deeply in love with someone.

This loss of reason (insanity) causes us to make poor choices.
She's bad for you, Tom.
He beats on you, Pam.
She spends all your money, Bob.
...and so on.
The reply is nearly always the same, "I know, but...I love her/him".

When someone gains Emotional Maturity the "Love Effect" is less uncontrollable.
Your reasoning ability remains focused and you make wiser decisions.
It helps you make the right decisions concerning love and you end up a happier person in the long run.

Loving someone is easy.
Anyone that has experienced love wants more of it.
Without sound reasoning, we end up loving people that are not 'good' for us. It affects our happiness and contentment in the long run.

There are qualities, mannerisms and personality traits that I love about a woman. I will tell her, "I love when you do that, I love how you act with people I care about, I love how you wear your hair" but I may not love her whole person yet. I refrain from saying "I Love YOU" until I love everything about her. Only after I experience her in all her good and bad ways and feel love for her will I say, I Love YOU.

It helps me keep my sound reasoning so I can make good decisions BEFORE I commit. Any sane person that is in control of their emotions does the same but may not admit to it. If you think about it, it makes sense.

Consider this:

Madly in love = keyword "Madly"
Lost in love = keyword "Lost"
Crazy for love = keyword "Crazy"

Then there is just
In Love = keyword "Love"

What?

Reminds me of a harpy I knew once.

We are all different. We ALL have better and worse days -- and periods of each can be long-lived or short-lived.

If you let a relationship grow organically your trust will increase.

For example: friends as you get to know one another and develop emotional and mental intimacy >> dating >> relationship.

A sustained relationship is both people learning and bonding more with each other.

Shouldn't this be under "Poems and Creative Writing"???

She's a wee verbose, too.



Best of luck in your search.

I think so too

Harpy yes she was
Played me like a fiddle, lord
Sharp then flat then both
