In a previous posting, logically sound love was found to be the truest love available to a person. This is because both people feel a mutual loving affection towards each other and are together. By this, one can possibly derive the conclusion their love is true.
Then there is a question of time/lasting. The lustful loves are shortly lived, as it is only the body which is in love. Then there is the love of the mind, which becomes friendship love, and can last forever but lacks the physical bond of lovers. Although love, and possibly passion, is present in both, it is the union of the body and mind being in love when one is really in love.
From a personal experience, such a love feels natural. It is the kind where one can act like themselves. One can behave how they ideally want to behave with another and will receive in return the affection they have sought. It becomes a sharing of two worlds and those worlds compliment each other. Neither are being forced to change to maintain a level of interaction. Neither has to sacrifice a fundamental part of themselves to stay with the other. The compliment of the other's affection enhances natural strengths, inspires growth, and neutralizes shortcomings.
As cliche as it will sound, it feels natural and comfortable. There is no speed in the equation. Passions are there, but they are at a level which can be maintained for years to come. It is also the kind, that should it leave, would leave a sense of gratefulness in its passing. That realization of gratefulness allows love to replace where fear was and allows one to fully appreciate the little things in the relationship. And when that fear is gone, speed is not an issue. For it is when we fear for something (loss, heartache, etc.) we will run and jump into the abyss straight into a free fall, or run to safer ground. The safety of those affections allows one to slow down and encourages appreciation for the present moment and concedes those moments to be cherished. It becomes a beautiful experience that can last through time and creates beauty in all it touches.
