a 5.5 hour conversation about the differences between love and lust.  by 6am we hadn’t come to a sound conclusion but was left to ponder the following:

lust in isolation

in order to fall in love you must first know, then like, then fancy the person, then develop a crush, then become smitten then feel love and then – and only then – are you aware that you are in love.

lust and love are not interdependent.

being in love has variables that change with the course of time and the growth of the relationship.

lust is just raw intensity between two people and at some point it will fade away.

love vs. lust?  spiritual energy vs. chemical reaction?
