I love my mother.
Last night, she is commenting on the difference between love and a crush—and up to this point, you must bear in mind, she has been speaking in strictly real-world terms, illustrated occasionally with anecdotes from her life in high school. And then: "But there's that obsessive quality to a crush. Because all you can see is the nymph. And then you move in with the nymph and she turns you into a tree."
Something must be done with this.

Love is decidedly not an experience between two people. In its ideal form of agape it is a perfectly self-contined and one-sided force expressed in one being and directed at others. If it is requited, great. If not, nothing is stopping anyone from continuing to love and cherish.
As well they should.
Has nothing to do with obsession or stalking. Because that's not even love.
