Love is. Love is not.

Do you believe two people can fall out of love? Does it wither and die over time? Or is love everlasting and all conquering? I don't know. I've always thought about what I wanted in a future husband; had him perfectly described, but then when i met him, when I really found it...well let's just say I thought if I found him, he'd be finding me and we would both be in mutual love. But I'm beginning to believe that saying that one person always loves more in a relationship. I desperately want to talk about it with him..but he'd let his emotions take over first, and he wouldn't hear another word. I want to take a break. NOT break up, but a break. Only problem is, I know he won't hear that. I need time to think...without him. I need to see if it's friends we're supposed to be, or is it more? I love him. I really do. But I'm just wondering if we wouldn't be the same...or close to it, as friends. I can't exactly pinpoint a reason for these feelings, but that doesn't mean they're not there. Sigh. I don't know..maybe I'm just not ready for a relationship. Maybe I've been fooling myself all along. It's like the only reason I don't break up with him is because I want to spend time with him...but that's what friends do too.. so I'm at a loss. I need help and I don't know what to do.
