14. Not even in the same state
Sex is just sex. Great and fabulous as it is, it is just that. It speaks to the physical side of us, and therefore is limited in scope. I can have a great 12 hour boink fest, and eventually that good feeling will fade.

True love is far and above any of that. Merely holding the woman I loved (and still love now after 4 months) gave me more joy than any orgasm. Falling in love with her awakened a part of me I never knew I had. In love, the mundane becomes extraordinary, a simple smile can chase away anything that has been bothering you. Three little words can have you soaring. Even a rebuke from someone you're in love with can make you feel better, because you know its was more than just hurt on her part that drove her to admonish you, it was also the fact that she knows you're better than that.

True love also makes you selfless. You are no longer the center of your universe. Sure, there are times when you do things for yourself, but nearly every thought and action are centered around someone you find beyond special. It is not a subjigation of yourself to someone else, but a welcoming of someone else into your being.

It is also never reaching a point of "oh, its her", but it always remaing "oh my god, its her".
