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 not filled with happiness. There are nagging doubts and unanswered questions, little bits and pieces that you dont really want to examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is a quiet understanding and the acceptance of imperfections. It is real and gives you strength. You are warmed by the persons presence even if that person is far away. You want that person, but near or far, you know your hearts are one and you can wait.
Infatuation says "I cant risk losing you" Love says "Be patient and make plans with confidence"
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest you can admit it will be difficult to be in each others company without it ending in intimacy.
Love is a mature friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers. Infatuation lacks confidence. Love means trust. Calm, secure and unthreatened.
Infatuation might lead you to do things that you might regret later. Love will never do that.
Love is an upper for sure. Makes you look up. Makes you feel up. Makes you a better person.
