Three Kinds of Love, Intro

Holding your head, you tried for the thousandth time to explain to John, your concept of love.
“I’m sorry ______. But I just don’t get it. Really this is more complicated than quadrants!” You sighed. “John, if you just listened I’d be able to explain it!” He merely nodded and rested his head on your shoulder. Gently petting your best friend’s hair, you once again began to explain your twisted views on love. You decided that you hated the traditional outlook on love. A Romeo and Juliet fairytale romance. You also found it odd that people would say, “I love you” to friends and family and it had a completely different meaning when said to their lover. So you made…your own quadrants so to speak. The first being easy to grasp, F&F love, as you called it. Meaning family and friend love. This was a simple love that most everyone understood. It was the unconditional love that you would feel towards say a close friend or a mother, sibling, whatever you use as am example. A very common form of love.
The second being Sensual love, the kind shared by two passionate romantics. This was the kind that most people thought of when the word love was mentioned. But your outlook was a little more realistic. You knew there was going to be bumps in the road. You expected it to be a rough ride. There would be arguments and heart break, no one is perfect after all. Sensual love was an equal caliber to F&F love, but with a different emotion. It was lustful and passionate and at times you needed each other so bad it burned.  And then there were instances were you would be filled with such anger that you just needed to run, run as far as possible. And after all your running, your would turn around and return to each other with open arms. Al that mattered was that you were there for each other, forever and always.
Then there was the third. The third that you knew in your heart was existent but you had trouble explaining it. The last kind of love, you could call nothing but Impossible love. The feeling was like nothing ever felt in the history of any living kind. It was magical, extraordinary, it was….you were already at a loss of words. Some might argue that you are simply repeating Sensual love, but that’s the catch. This third love didn’t have to be your soul mate. It could be a guardian, family member, friend or maybe someone you just met. When people speak of love at first sight, Impossible love is what they really mean. You feel the experience of the whole galaxy in the very palm of your hand when you are around this person. And the best part was, you were certain they felt the same.
You looked down at John and he nodded. “Yeah I think I got it that time.” Smiling, you placed a light kiss on the top of his head and he gave you a derpy smile. John looked over as your phone buzzed on the coffee table. You picked it up and smiled as you saw it was from one of your good troll friends. “Hey John, I’m going out for a while okay?” Your prankster friend shot you a gin as you chuckled and headed out the door.
