No. With respect - nobody knows what goes on between two people in a connection apart from them. It most definitely was love, in the past. I have known great love from my amazing mother and I know how to recognize it.
It is true to say it is not love
now between us though. Absolutely. It faded out and became something else.
Dunno why, because I've been on the planet long enough to know it's not because of my jeans size or whether my hair's perfect. It can only be because once we fostered intimacy, she shrank away from the raw person I was, and that's quite depressing really. Not sure what to do with it. But hopefully I can just forget about her.
