And the tricky thing is, it doesn't all have to do with time - sometimes people really do fall in love quickly, and know that it's meant to be right away. It is almost impossible to recognize the difference between them when you are experiencing it yourself, because that little voice in your head that wants to do anything possible to justify your feelings is telling you about love, about fate, about whatever it can to make sense of the feelings that you're having.
The truth is, infatuation is like a shadow of love. This is what people write songs about, what legends are made of, why people fight and cry and scheme - at least, that's how it feels at the time. What starts out as a harmless crush suddenly spirals into something much more consuming, something you feel so manically and impossibly that you think to yourself it could only be love. We've all been there before, but the trouble is you can only see it in retrospect - when you put someone on a pedestal, idealize them, and make them out to be something they're not.
