Just a four letter word "Love" can be defined in more than four million ways counting on the experience! For me it's like a medicine that is injected into the body, can be the cure to your problem but overdose can cause death!
Is it like?
A person crowned with an empire?..
Who is the most admired one but has a pile of responsibilities of the Kingdom and must be able to settle every dispute in the most ideal way!
I believe love can be compared to an empire! There must be certain rules to abide and freedom to enjoy, all the decisions taken shouldn't hurt either sides! And the most important factor is loyalty that is expected be it either in a kingdom or love life because loyalty is royalty!
Or is it like?
Two sculptors who are striving to carve a beautiful sculpture with their own hands?.... If accomplished can bring out the perfectly crafted monument but trembling hands or a non-artist can change the complete meaning of their piece of work!
Definitely love can be compared to the art of sculpturing, as both of them require time, patience and also interest till the end of it! And most of the relationships fail when they cannot meet the above criteria!
Or maybe it's like..?
A bike ride of two people who are touching their backs and facing into opposite sides?...who would get support of eachother but are making an effort to explain their own views and perspectives to the other as it is barely visible!
This would be the most appropriate comparison to love, looking at different sides is very common factor! We can never force and show the better half our perspective, all that can be done is explain what we are looking at, and either convince them to follow your perspective or get convinced for their perspective! In either case the respect for each other must be unharmed.
Well in any of the above condition we can cream out the best and the worst! But incompletion of it can be brutal!!
It all depends on how they carry it! Failure in a relationships can be agonizing at both the ends but the strong, the dominant, the balanced feels the "pain" and the over expressive, too emotional and extremely attached can feel "death"!
Hence the weaker turn the medicine into intoxication making it kill themselves! If you aren't capable of bearing the injury, neither you deserve love nor you deserve to be loved!
Practicality, reality and eventuality is on what everything in this world depends on! Including "Love" and not only on imagination, assumption and expectation!
