"You love her but she doesn't love you back."
"Love is an illusion, you know?"

An illusion of what?
Every illusion has its shadow.
It's a counterpart of something real is it not?
So, what's your point?

"I'm saying it's all fake, an abstraction of the mind."

If you know what is fake, then surely you can tell me what's real.
Unless you are just wasting my time on your theoretical insight on life?

"No--"

--You can't just go around making asinine statements on things if you don't have all your facts in order; people are bound to find you simply delusional.

"..."

Even if I am mistaken, don't tell me what I felt is something akin to, but not, love.
You're only stretching the truth; not dismissing it.

Love, adoration, fondness, endearment:
all sentiments of the same body; the same flood of thoughts.
The only discernable distinctions are how they are expressed from the heart and what catalyzed them.
And those distinctions are very real.
I made no mistake with my attraction, just a decision.
