I don't think we love people because of the way we feel about them. I think we love people because of the way we feel about ourselves, when we're around them.

For me...love is a life time...I've don't stop loving or fall out of love with a person, but how I love them changes... more/lee/or different level... sometimes I wish I could hate...lol....

How do I know it is love? When I strive to be the person that "they" see. When they see kindness and warmth so I try to be kinder and warmer. When they see happiness so it spills over from me. When they see everything I want to be so I want to be that, even more.

Ahh the age old question, I agree with most of the posts so far but would like to elaborate a little. The "falling" is in my opinion the transition of us absorbing and feeling the energy of the other person and the emotions they create within us, with the end result being what we know as love. The sustaining of that love is the continual growing we do with and without that person and the experiences we share, which is why we can love in varying degrees. The ultimate is to love and be "in love" with someone, to me that encompasses the feeling we emote in each and the passion is undeniable. My experience has been that the latter is the hardest to attain but when you do the joy is unmistakeable and for me usually starts at a slow burn and ends up as a raging fire.
