I have to add that the difference between lust and love is that when times get rough in relationships you will either work things out if you are in love or break up if it is lust. If you speak with most married couples they will say that marriage is work and things arent always easy. I think singles give up on some relationships just because times get rough but if you are truly in love you will want to work things out ( unless there are major issues like cheating or abuse). I think most people desperately want to be in love and sometimes try to fall in love with every person they are with, but in actuality it is lust. I think you are truly in love when you are with someone and you both can grow emotionally individually as well as together. Being in love means that you will accept the other person and be there when times are rough. I remember when I got my heart broken, I also said 'how could he do this to me? How could he hurt me?" but one of my friends reminded me that in life we are all bound to get hurt and not only in relationships, we get hurt in friendships, by parents, or children. Its not always intentional that we hurt or get hurt by friends or family, and we always forgive our friends and family; yet we are quick to not want to forgive our significant others. I use to believe that if someone loves me they will never hurt me and we would have the perfect relationship, but that is not reality. Beyonce and Jay Z are married now, but as we can tell from her songs the whole relationship wasn't 'perfect' but they still have a happy ending. I agree that that only in the end or when the couple isnt together anymore then they really can decide if it was love or lust. Of my married friends, 95% of then didn't go straight from dating to marriage: they dated, broke up, got together and then got married. Sometime we need to step away to evaluate our lives and how we feel about the person. If there is one thing I plan to do for 2010 is to try to grow up emotionally so when I do find love again, I will be able to recognize it and nurture the relationship.

I like how you said, "not as ONE..." but as two individuals who decide to come together. word..
