It is staring into their eyes as they are saying hurtful things, and knowing that you can never hate them, no matter what the circumstance…

Been there, done that, found out I was wrong about never hating him. If that’s love, I’m never going there again.

To answer the OP: maybe twice, or maybe never. I can’t decide, but I’m inclined to think never, because I don’t think I really knew either of them well enough to say that I actually loved him, rather than my idea of him. Or rather, I did get to know one of them far too well, and far too late… Oh, never mind. Let’s just say that six of those would certainly kill me.

to Fretful,
then you have never known what true love it.
it is not staying with an abuser because you think you can change them, it is leaving because you can’t change them, and knowing that you are better off without them, knowing that you have to leave in order for them to get better.
It is sticking by as a friend, even while they plummet their lives into utter chaos, because some people need to hit rock bottom, and there is nothing you can do to help but stand back and catch them at the bottom.
Love is watching someone you have loved fall in love with someone else and being happy for that person.
It is everything and inbetween.
I feel bad for those who don’t know that kind of love, only the lust–so inferior the feeling of true love, of another, or of humanity

I am a fire who licks and spits at the boundless sky forever desiring wonderous consummation

I apologise for the spelling errors I have made in the above statement.
lust is inferior to the feeling of true love, true love of humanity and to another individual

44

That’s nice. I feel bad for wannabe poets who condescend to complete strangers on message boards.

45

that’s too bad, animosity is not my style.
I hope you do find a lasting love Fretful.

46

how do I count twice with the same person ?

twice or three times depending on how to count it

I hope I get 4 more chances though

I’ve only been in love twice in my life, which is enough for me.

Only once, and it ended badly. Still hoping, but not hopeful.

I’ve fallen in love twice, and once I stepped in it and couldn’t scrape it off my shoe.
