>>24547874>measureNo, my tone deaf friend. Not measure. Magnitude. There is not one love, even though the English language only has one word for it, sadly. Maybe on accident, maybe on purpose, but there are far many varieties of love than just our one word for it indicates. Saying all love is love is just idiotic, or at least autistic, which is understandable since autistic people have trouble understanding tone and degrees of emotions.
Also, again, you seem not have had a deep rooted crush, almost a mania, as you were younger. Being saddened that someone you care about is gone is a natural human reaction by contrast. NOTHING about that is unique to love.
You wanna know the easiest sign it's just a crush and was just ever a crush, a fevered mania? Simple.
It's not causing her pain.
