From the "Simple Truth about LOVE"

Love inspires us to do great, beautiful, terrible things and a bunch of weird and stupid stuff. That’s because when we fall in love, our reasons and perspective become distorted, and we discover the lovers’ paradox. Suddenly, we have clear purpose, but we suffer overwhelming indecision. The affectionate attention we receive means we feel more self-affirmed and radiant than ever before, and yet we are sick with self-doubt and insecurity.
Personal grooming also takes on a fresh energy, sometimes to the point where we change virtually everything about our appearance that turned our admirer’s head in the first place.
Though it is wonderful in so many ways, falling in love can be a very unsettling experience. Poetic torment churns in your soul and keeps you from settling. Whenever you close your eyes, the object of your desire floats across a dreamscape towards your waiting lips. (I don’t really understand why the lips.) In fact, the only time we really wake up to reality is when the new lover is actually approaching.
Unfortunately, at that exact moment, your molecular structure turns into water. You try to stay calm and composed, endeavouring to present a picture of charisma and confidence. You fail. (but I think it’s ok)
All those breathless secrets in your heat that you rehearsed a thousand times and are now ready to share gently with a tender ear, you suddenly blurt out, sounding like a race caller from an ancient civilisation.
Really think about your feelings. Run through a few emotional scenarios in your mind and see how they look and feel. There’s a reason we feel so shy when we first meet someone special. Both people are seriously checking each other out, looking for and revealing some very personal information. The process is all about trust. Slowly, we get closer and closer. Some things just shouldn’t be rushed, and love is always worth waiting for.
In its early stages, love is beyond wonderful. Each moment together feels like a passionate embrace in a magic forest. You gallop tirelessly in perpetual and blessed sunshine, your feet a few inches above the ground. In other words, our perceptions of ourselves and our beloved can become a touch idealised.
We tend to forget that Romeo and Juliet DID NOT, in actual fact, end all that well.
The truth is that love is always beautiful, and may even feel perfect. But it can never be so, not all the time. Falling in love is an exquisite but complex coming together of two individuals, and in a beautiful, dynamic living relationship always has some ups and downs.
The irritating thing about falling in love is that you don’t suddenly get transported to the mythical Kingdom of Coupledom, where everything is designed to make your relationship perfect. Two independently minded people usually have similar but slightly different needs, and these differences keep us on our toes. Surprises keep your love exciting and fresh.
