Far too many people these days confuse love with lust. We are living in a world of "serial monogamy" (or even serial polygamy) as one magazine put it (don't ask). Love, to me, means a whole bunch of things: a strong emotion you feel for somebody, but it also requires trust, honesty, respect, communication, etc etc, and of course that magical word commitment, which being a teenage male I do not use overly much but I still agree with and like the idea of it. Without all those wonderful things in the equation, love isn't quite love- not what it is in my opinion anyway.

Now, love between two people and breaking up and everything- some people ask "is it worth the heartbreak?", and from my one small experience, I have to say "yes". Mind you, this might be sort of biased/uninformed, as this didn't end in a screaming argument and we are still friends, as opposed to now avoiding each other etc- and I can't see any reason why we wouldn't still be friends.

Oh yes, one more thing- variety is the spice of life, and love between two people who are exactly the same in everything would get sort of boring, and probably wouldn't work in the first case- most importantly, two bossy people or two quiet people- doesn't really work IMHO (although those little lulls in conversation resulting from the latter are good, says the radio).
