Love doesn't require a choice or a second thought. You know that you're in love the moment you lay eyes on that person.
Men in particular find it difficult to admit that they're in love, it could be for a number of reasons- he finds it hard to open up because he feels vulnerable, he could be in a trapped
relationship and he can't leave her because he suffers from Good Guy Syndrome, he could be married, he could be shy or simply he fears being rejected and that the feelings might not be reciprocated. Whatever the reasons
may be or how far you distance yourself from the person you love, your heart and mind will always long for them. Love should not be confused with crush. A crush is when you like someone for a short period of
time and you get over it, it normally doesn't last more than a year. Love is a constant feeling that lasts for a long
time, possibly forever. Love is a feeling and feelings never
die. It
may happen that you prioritize some other things (like career,
people, family, etc) more than him/her but the feelings never fade, not even a bit. The moment your all alone they're all that you think about.
