I don't write romance novels--mainly because I can't put feelings into words like you do so brilliantly.  There are many flavors of love, but choosing the one that will wear well and stay fresh over the years . . ?  I wonder if anyone finds that (or maybe rarely) without making wrong choices first.

This is brilliantly written, Tzippy, the best I've read so far of yours.  You are bringing deep emotion onto the page in a masterful way.  Overshadowing it is a sense of impending doom -- I'm just happy for you that you have survived the experience, and your wise thoughts about what love truly is will stand you in great stead for a happy future.  Michael

Tzippy - Being in that situation at that time..I am quite surprised that you could come to terms with it not being love. Those feelings that you have expressed has every element of someone in love. You know Tzippy, I think there is a thin line between passion, love, possessiveness and need. Very interesting story. Thanks so much for the comment in my blog and I'm glad you liked it.

It's fascination, obsession, or as Disney put it in "Bambi"
you're twitterpated. It's like being seventeen again, overwhelmed by the urge to merge, blind to everything else. Intoxicating, isn't it? Ooh, it's scary.

I think you are right! But, love takes time to grow! I think that one can be over the edge as it were when a new relationship makes us feel great! The feeling are explored and you have made a fair assessment! What to do next? sam
