I know how that feels, and I can't seem to leave knowing that she loves me.

That's been happening to me for the past four years. I haven't found a solution to it either, but the best I can offer is to leave, if possible. Try not to see them. Out of sight, out of mind, as much as it hurts and is going to hurt.

Speaking of which ... I should probably stop throwing the word 'love' around... Feh.

I've been there, too, ST. Just hold on. The wound will scab over and it'll hurt less.

I wish you realized how absurd this statement sounds.

Love isn't about "having".
If i tell someone i love her, it does NOT mean she must drop everything, click "pause" on her life and run into my arm or else we will both suffer eternally like in a bad faux-romance novel.

I don't think they mean it like that. My problem was (I'm not the ST, just to point out) that my person used to love me, and then something happened, I'm still not entirely sure what, and they stopped. And It was excruciating. And then they said they weren't sure, and they knew they loved me, but they were pretty sure it wasn't like that. The idea in my case was "You loved me, and you still love me, but not like that, and never again"

it kills to hear "I love you" when it'll never be how you want.

You can't have the person as a significant other, not "have" as in "your life revolves around me, I love you, drop everything now".

It's not absurd, most people don't take it the way you're saying.

I was, more than once, in a situation that... had similarities to you. I know from firsthand experience how painful what you describe can be, especially when it happens virtually overnight, just as you were in total euphoria from that person actually reciprocating your feelings in the first place.

But tell me this: If you know the one you want isn't gonna be interested in a relationship with you, then what's better - To be loved by that person anyway {whether as "just a friend", or "just a lover", or "friend with benefits", or "soul sibling" or whatever other label the two of you choose to tag it with for convenience}? Or to no longer be in any contact, or at least in any positive contact with that person?
If you feel the latter is preferable, then what you felt couldn't have been love in the first place.

What i'm saying is, "like this" and "like that" aside, Love is Love.

On a separate note, i'm under a strong impression - from the secret's wording and design - that the ST is addicted to pain and suffering, and will use anything s/he can find as a means and an excuse to cause him/herself pain - whether emotional or physical.
