Now, I probably don't know what the romantic kind feels like, (although I have had this strange, but pleasant, feeling in my chest when I think about certain things related to a person,) but I think you get the point.

To be fair, I don't think I've ever loved anyone, beyond family. And even then.

My ex ex, who I moved in with and I was with her for years, was someone I claimed to 'love' but it was my first serious relationship, built on a bed of teenage hormones and a deep personal tragedy so of course everything felt big and end of the world like, but I was also way too naive and innocent to feel love at that point. I laugh in the face of people who are like sixteen and claim to love someone, they probably don't even know what a pulled muscle feels like yet.

You can only truly comprehend what love is, when you've been with enough people, something else a lot of people who want to look noble won't admit.
