You have to know that they are right for you, and that nothing can separate you to be completely in love. I don’t believe Romeo and Juliet are “in love” I think they are “in flattery” they are just amazed that someone seems to care that much about them, and feel the need to return that to one another. They feel lonely without the other, but as said by Janet Fitch, “Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.” I believe in that. “know what you want,” how do you know what you want, with another person, just because they give you attention, just because you like the attention, doesn’t mean that you want them forever; it doesn’t mean your in love.
