Love & IN Love

So many people use the word "I'm in love" without really understanding it. I think you can love someone without being IN love with them. You can't be in love with someone without TRULY knowing them.

Who will stand by you through your hardest times and love you for YOU even when you are stripped of all the materialistic valuables, money, power, fame, success. When you are in essence just you.

Who will love you when you are down with the flu, really sick, in bed, with bed hair and not looking your best. When you want to be hugged, loved, cuddled, kissed and held, feeling safe, protected and complete.
