    Was it just the hint of twilight
    That was shining in your hair
    Or the softly whispered secret
    That had caught me unaware

    Was it just the dancing flames
    That had flickered in your eyes
    Or the mystique of your smile
    Underneath those tawny skies

    Was it just the distant music
    That played a haunting tune
    Or the silver incandescence
    Of a full midsummer moon

    Was it just the way you held me
    As the sky turned midnight blue
    Was it just the hint of twilight
    That day I fell in love with you

    I have a friend, a very dear friend of mine. I treat her like my sister.

    More or less a year ago, we were living together. She had a ****** history, and was a bit (or probably just... I don't know if one could be a bit) bipolar. To top it off, she tended to bottle up all her anger all the time. So much so that, when the bottle fills up, it spills out. She loses control and all sense of rationality (yet still be able to argue so damn well). One night, I come home and her girlfriend (yes, she's lesbian) was sitting in the corner crying. At the time, I simply assumed they were fighting. I look for my friend and, to my fortune (and hers), I manage to stop her before she jumps out the window. I love this girl. Not in a boy-girl kind of way. But I did love her, and I still do. Afraid that she'd try something like that again when I leave and succeed, I tried to talk her out of it. To no avail. She's a smart girl. She makes a good argument, a good enough argument to make suicide seem reasonable. I knew then I couldn't sway her. So I stopped trying. I felt god damn helpless and assumed the worst. Somehow things went for the better.

    Months later, her new girlfriend tells me she holds me with high regard. Looking back at the time she tried to commit suicide, I was told that what stopped her from going through with killing herself was that I didn't do anything. I simply sat there and listened to her. I realized then, love isn't what I thought it was. Love is the ability to respect the other's decision, whatever it may be, even if it means letting that person commit suicide. Respect above all else. Just make sure they know you're there, make sure your presence is felt.

    These days, when I believe someone I care about is about to do something I do not think will benefit them, I don't stop them. I simply ask them, Do you know what you're about to do? Are you aware of the consequences? And are you ready for them? If yes, go ahead. You have my support and blessing. This way, they know I care, but also know that I know I have no right whatsoever to tell them what to or what not to do, and give them the freedom to decide for themselves the direction of their life.

    That's what love is to me. But, hey, it isn't written in stone, yea? Many have thought otherwise.

    Cheers.

    It's being there for one another, going to any event to support your love no matter what the consequence or inconvenience. Love is sitting together, without silence being awkward, able to share your hearts desires openly and easily. Something along these lines anyway...

    Love to me is a mutual respect that is unexplainable and how you long for that person every minute of your living days and how just the thought of them turns you on like noone can. Making love to the only one you love is the true test of what is love. You may have had sex but there is nothing like making love and you will know when it happens.
