One of the olde standards vis-a-vis LOVE drifted through my mind recently: the difference 'tween being in love and falling in love. The former's a more constant state while the latter's often more rough and tumble w/its ups (mostly) and downs (at least somewhat/sometimes). Often the being follows the falling - or they happen more or less at the same time but the second's so much louder (emotionally) it subsumes the first. Is it any wonder we use the term "crush?" That's what it feels like.
