Is that feeling infatuation or love?
Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another.
Love is a friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but you are not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is quite understand and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by their presence, even when they are away. Miles do not separate you. You want them neared. But near or far, you know they are yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says, “We must get married right away. I can’t risk losing him.”
Love says, “Be patient, don’t panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you’re real honest, you’ll admit that it is difficult to be in one’s company unless you’re sure it will end in intimacy.
Love is the maturation of friendship for you must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When the other is away, you will wonder if they are cheating; sometimes you may even check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure, and threatened.
Infatuation will likely lead you to do things that you’ll regret later, but love never will.
Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.
The last few years have taught me many things but one thing I know for sure that they have taught me is it’s so much better to wait for a true love than throw everything away on a mere infatuation.
I'm waiting for love because infatuation isn't worth the heartbreak.
