"I Love" ... by Steve Bearman

If you only read one thing from this forum today... let it be this one. 
"I love.
I wish I could say that I love you, but the truth is that I just ‘love’ and you happened to get in the way.
Now, most people would take offense at this, tell me how impersonal it feels, how if I just love everybody because they happen to be there, then my love for any particular person is not special.
But you are special before I love you.
You are special even if I do not love you.
You are unique, and I am unique, and therefore the love we share is unique."

But that is straying from the point of my post. I just wanted you to know that I throughly appreciated the thought expressed in the above essay. It truly is a reasoning I've not come across before and is extremely helpful in contemplating love. Brilliant!
