"intense and senseless" it's so true sometimes, especially in my past experiences. I feel like I had a similar experience with another relationship, having left someone I loved but for valid reasons at the time, and then seeing them 7 years later as well. My love 7 years ago was a much different experience I think than it is now.

I think it's true that it's best not to repeat the same mistakes, and of course sometimes that means not being with someone again, usually because the reasons you broke up still exist in one way or another.
And I agree, from what I've learned true love isn't perfection, it includes working with our imperfections and still loving each other through it all.

@steemchiller Thank you for your story and insight :)
