Is it LOVE or is it LUST?

When you get to certain age, I think it is very difficult to determine the difference between love and lust. Sometimes it is just the idea of love that you love and thus put the feelings you have into the love box and totally bypass the lust box.
Let me explain, following on from the bold statement made in the last entry…. Confessions of a Vogue Girl Part Deux. Falling in love with a beautiful Irish man. Is it love or is it lust? Well, it isn’t really possible to fall in love in just 1 night is it? Or is that what they call Love at first sight?
When a boy holds your head in his hands and kisses you adoringly, is that love or is it the way to make a girl weak at the knees?
He held my head in his hands and we kissed and then kissed again, it was as if no one else was in the room despite there being over 300 people around us, to me it was just me and him. To me it was like falling in love, to him, it was a score, in the morning, it was a score for me and for him it was like falling in love.
A wise lady once said to me “Don’t go looking for love, love will find you and it will happen in the most unusual place. You can not allow people to fix you up with their friends or have an aunty find you a suitable boy; you have to allow your self the freedom to let it come naturally. It has got to be real, and it has to be for you”. That is the soundest advice I have had in a long time, and you know, it is so true.
If you haven’t fallen in love for a long time, you forget what love is. How do you know what love really is. It is different for everyone. Different people have different specifications and although that may sound very scientific, that’s exactly what it is....... a science!
