Have you ever been so In Love with some one that:

it actually hurt?

you feel like you're going to burst open at any moment?

your feelings run so deep that you can't even put into words how you feel?

YEP!!!!   I was so in love with someone that I would have done anything for him.  I was even stupid enough to let him change my mind about certain family members and sitautions with others.  Unfortunitely sometimes to love someone that much usaully means that there is a MAGOR heartache on the way.  At least I found that.  I finally woke up morning literally, and called to say don't be home when I get there because I am packing and leaving.  To love this deeply I have found, can mean you are clinging to the wrong kind of love that may not be love at all.

Of course, I do believe that there are some couples that can make this kind of love a pure love that lasts forever, but I have unfortunitly never experienced it.

I don't think I've ever responded to anything in this forum before...but this one I couldn't pass up.  An emphatic YES!  A love so intense that when it ended it hurt not only the heart but the mind, body and soul.  A physical ache so consuming that the only relief was to dull it, by either mindless activity or chemical intervention.  Sleep was not an option.   For me it manifests itself in another way also that I wonder if anyone else has experienced.  When love ends and then...music hurts.  I find it very difficult to listen to music.  Not just those few songs that are a particular reminder but all music.  Your last question, I'm not sure about.  I write a lot about one particular experience with this, though I don't know that I have ever REALLY gotten to the depth of the feeling.  I think I have probably touched on it with a line or two but not to the extent that you suggest.
Thanks for a really good question about my favorite subject...painful or not!

To paraphrase Just a Woman. . . is there any other way??  

Yes. . . I have. . . so much so that I've been used. . . but I never knew it. . . I just fell totally for this person. . . and my feelings and my heart were totally walked on. . . and when it ended, the fall down was hard. . . very hard. . .

Like JLR, it hurt. . . it even hurt to listen to those songs. . . but I went on. . . I healed. . . it took a long time. . . but, I tried again. . . and again. . . never giving up. . . I guess that you could say that I was a glutton for punishment. . . but I knew that the love that I wanted was out there. . . and I know that it still is. . .

So, out of stubbroness (well, that or stupidity, one of the two!!  LOL   ) I keep trying. . . and I know that I'll find it. . . it's not just a dream. . . and when I do. . . you'll know it. . .

Great question PanDol. . .

I'm loving like that right now, actually. Allow me to ask another question: have you ever loved somebody enough to let them go with another person with no hard feelings, because you'd rather see them happy, even if it isn't with you? If you've ever read my poetry, you'll know my answer!

Lovebug---how about letting someone go to be with someone else...not so much because it makes them happy but because it is the decision he/she has made and is probably the 'right' thing to do...all things considered?
Would that count...if so yes I have.  Nonetheless--painful.  I will have to be pulling up some of your poetry...sorry to say, I don't believe I've read any...though, I saw the pic of your car and I love it!

Let me reply yes, yes and yes.
I have only loved 3 men in my life. #1 was my husband who I was married to for 11 years. Now divorced for 12 that hurt.
#2 Meet a man 7 years ago.  He was really  very kind to me and a good person.We were together for 6 yrs.Fell in love with the person I thought he was. Turned out to be not what I thought. I left him. I hurt him which in turn hurt me.
I met a man almost a year ago. We are together right now. I Love him so much I think at times I am going to explode. The way he shows his love for me just blows my mind. When I first moved to be with him the whole town said thank you to me. That my man had and still does declare his love for me to everyone he meets. His friends told me they have never seen him so happy. At times I am at a loss for words to tell him how I feel. We have no secrets. We share everything. It is wonderful. I do not think my feet will ever touch the ground again!!!! True Love At last *sighs*

Yep, I have to go with Dopey here.  Love bites.
First b/f together for 2 years, dumped me for another chick but didn't TELL me for 3 months, then blamed me for it, THEN begged me to give him a reason to break of the engagement (with the girl he dumped me for) by telling me that he'd give it all up if I just told him that I loved him one more time.
Second b/f together for a year, promised that he'd never do what my first had done, then promtly dumped me for some other chick.
It's been down hill since then.
I fall for the wrong guys at the worst time.  I mean the lastest one was my friends on and off b/f...word of advice...NEVER GO THERE!!!
The one before that was a friends brother.
I can't seem to win.  There's this guy that I love to bits right now (purely in a platonic relationship however) I mean, I've never loved someone like I love him and for the last 2 months I haven't heard from him except for the vacant replies here.
AHHH!  I HATE MY LOVE LIFE!!!!!

I am dealing with that right now   and this is the only time that I have felt this deeply, and yes, you can still be in love with someone even when he has found another, I just want him to be happy even though I'm still miserable

LoveBug - Great question.  I haven't ever been in that situation before, but I have thought about it.  I thought about why I am keeping this person unhappy.  The only way that person would be happy is if I let him go and be with who he really wanted to be with.  It's almost like you're sacrificing your own emotions and your own heart for that significant other to be happy.
I wish that situation never happens to me.  If you're going through it then I'm sorry and all I can offer are my *Hugs*

I can relate to alot of you.  My first love, I was with for 5 years, he constantly cheated and lied, but I stuck around.  Now I'm in another situation.  I'm in love with someone who I believe is in love with another.  He sends all these mixed signals and I'm not sure what to believe.  There is nothing I wouldn't do for him and he knows this.  I think at times he even takes advantage of this fact.  BUT, unfortunately, I can't muster the courage to leave.  When and if he decides to walk out of my life, I can guarentee, many nights will be spent curled up with tears rolling down my face, slow music in the distance asking "why?".  

I often say I'd want him to be happy even if it meant pain for me....but truth be told...I don't think I could handle it.  Only time will tell.

Great question!!!!

woah...yes yes and yes and to erica's question"have you ever loved somebody enough to let them go with another person with no hard feelings, because you'd rather see them happy, even if it isn't with you?": yes.

sheesh it kills when you do that, but you do it and it hurts even more. ESPECIALLY when they come back and tell you all about it too. you start to question their motives and become really withdrawn and balme yourself for letting it happen in the first place.

Are you scared?          BOO! Are you now?

Hey all, sorry its been awhile.
Some of you may remember me, others not.

Hope you don't mind, but thought I would give you another angle to this one...

Finding this kind of love that consumes you with ever beat your heart makes, and having that person comsumed in you the same way that no word could express the intense emotions that run throughout your body, a scent in the air, a word somebody speaks, music on the radio all make you think of this person...... It is perfect beyond comprehension and yes I have been luck enough to find it....

BUT!!!!!

Yep there is always a but.
What if the circumstances around you stop you from being together.
What if you had already chosen your life before meeting this person, what if they two have already chosen their life before meeting you.

What if neither of you are living the life that you want to live and know that you deserve, yet for some reason you are still living it, without being with the one that consumes you.

You and They know that you are perfect destiny... so where do you go from here.

I guess sometimes life throws us challenges!

Please dont judge me for I have already had the grand jury make their decission and convict me of either living a lie or lying to myself... I have been sentenced to a life of confusion.

to answer ya q, yes. a couple of times.

but conversely, have you ever hurt so much you love whoever is around you?
as SR-71 sings "she may not be Miss Right, but she'll do right now."
that, of course, leads to more trouble...but sometimes, for a moment, the hurt is a little easier to deal with.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

Yes, I currently am desperately in love with a girl I know. I don't see anyone but her. The one problem is that not only does she have a boyfriend, but she also likes this other guy. I know that she isn't the best girl out there, but I love her just the same...I just can't seem to tell her that.

one day, you get hurt so bad, you decide it's better to be alone.
and that's like a moment of nihility...a death of meaning in your life.
and then the search for a meaning is a pain in the ass.
and no one ever gets in...
or maybe i'm the only cynical, bitter one that's given up on giving my heart.
