Lust is just sexual attraction

Love has a lot more to it, I've never experienced it so I don't know.

How can lovebe forever when everything dies eventually?

That doesn't make sense.
I would say lust makes you think more about the sexual side of a relationship, like "oh yeah, s/he's so sexy".

Love is more like "long-lasting friendship" on top of that lust, plus its more like taking into account a person's personality, and if the person makes you want to stay with them because you like being together to chat, to have fun (not just sexually but go out on dates)

basically, i think "oh yeah, they've got big this, big that" is lust, and "i wanna be with you forever" is love.
If all you can think about is banging her and if every conversation you have with her quickly turns into both of you getting horny beyond reason then it's lust.

Love is.. you'll know it when you're there.

Lust is kind of a like heavy feeling it makes you feel kind of hot and it burns away too quickly like if you act on lost you feel just kind of unfulfilled and just everything seems to thick and musky sort I don't know if you are understanding this but lust is a dark kind of feeling whereas love is light it's butterflies and just companionship it sates you and you feel rejuvenated kind of lust and love go hand in hand light and dark overheated and rejuvenated well that's my take on it anyhow
Everyone always says that u will kno when ur there but thats like telling me u will kno when u see an elephant and giving me no description or anything about the elephant. How do i kno when something has happened to me if i dont kno what it actually is??

Did you know how a certain food tasted before you had it? I'm guessing you didn't
True
Lust: I wanna put my penis in it
Love: I wanna romantically spoon with it for 12 hours straight, sexing optional

Love is one of those things you can't really describe

Yeah that's cuz elephants are so big that you can't miss them when you see them.
love cannot be described.
