"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine

you got what it means people? Love and being in love is a diffrent kinda thing. when being in love means
breathlessness, excitement, and the promises of eternal passion and it only last for a while, maybe the few first months on your relationship. But Love is something that left in your heart when you got tired of 'being in love', when being in love has burned away. but it doesnt mean you're bored. it's just the time when you realized you two had stop being in love but still love each other.
it's like getting realized when for years you've been together and you know, you're not two. but one.
need examples? look at your parents, look how the way they through their life together. Plain? yes. but you dont know how long their love lasts forever ;)
