Do You Believe There Is A Difference Between Loving Someone And Being In Love With Someone?

Of course I would plan to go to bed and yet find the most difficult question to answer...but I want to give it a try. The man I love has said to me in the past "you ARE love" and yet for some reason I have always found it difficult to answer this particular question. The simple difference can be that being "in love" means that you are actually sharing it with someone, and just loving someone can mean that you admire them or feel that you love them even if they do not love you back. The thing that catches me though, is that when it comes to two people who are truly committed to each other, care for each other so deeply, and would do anything for each other...I don't think there really is any difference at all. I think that in a true love that is so deep, the two people in it love each other and are in love...there is no line between the two. Perhaps when those rare few couples experience true love, it goes even deeper...and the two of them together ARE love itself.
