I want what Dan and Phil have and I don’t even know what Dan and Phil have

I just did not appear in tumblr after decades to only post about this but okay hear me out. I really want to know why we have the same word "love" for two meanings. Like Platonic love should have a different name and the romantic love should have another name. Using the same word for both of them it's... IT'S JUST CONFUSING (agree with me). Like one day your crush tells u "I love u" and u say omg yes me too and then you start melting your imagination world into reality but then later u realize he/she said it in a platonic manner/friendly manner ( yea heartbreak). This is just one common example but just because this one word can mean this two things it can lead to so many misunderstandings. So so soooo I just thought of this (I didn't just think stupid things instead of sleeping) what if people, instead of saying "I love you" (I'm taking about the romantic one) they said "I'll burn with you". Love is like burning yourself for the other one you know , practically. Loving someone fully is like accepting their flaws and burns, their goods and bad deeds, everything. Maybe to make them smile or laugh even a bit you'd do anything. In the process of loving you would be giving a part of yourself up. Think about it. Just to be with them, the desire, the knowledge of one day you might be their no. 1 favorite, the wanting to see them smile and laugh for you, the craving of their presence in your life, the craving of being an important presence in their life. These things that would be driving you crazy for them, that would be making you want them, wouldn't a burning flame be consuming you? A burning flame of hope and love and probably some disasters too. But then if your love interest says "I'll burn with you" or "I'll burn for you"......... They are willing to be part of this quicksand called love you're in (or like in mundane ordinary words, I love you). And if they say "can I burn for you? " "can I burn with you?" These questions... Think about it, they are asking for your permission to love you as if if they start loving you the flame would totally consume them and maybe they are hinting on wanting you to burn with them. The ask for permission, they are scared that you might refuse to join them in the blazing fire. I just found this interesting, the concept of burning for someone or someone so deep in love with you that they would burn for you.

OKAY I'VE JUST RAMBLED LIKE THAT AND EMBARRASSED TO POST NOW (nevertheless I'm posting) I know I just said things which probably doesn't make any sense. For some reason I've lost the ability to properly convey what I mean. And about Platonic love,,,,,,,, idk what to call this LMAO. If you can think of any tell me.

i wish there wasn’t such a stigmatized view on platonically loving people.

I can’t call people nicknames and pet names like hun and honey without them immediately assuming i have romantic interest in them.

i can’t tell my friends i love them without adding on “platonically” or shortening the phrase “ily” “love you” “love u”

i love a lot of people. i love my sister, i love my boyfriend, and i love my best friend. All different versions of love.

let us love people openly and honestly without it being seen as “making a move” or being romantically interested.

please please please stop assuming that love is strictly romantic, i promise you life becomes so much brighter and bigger when you stop keeping love strictly romantic.

Remember that this is not the proof that they love each other

That was a last-ditch attempt from Crowley to get Aziraphale to stay

This is the proof that they love each other

Their love wasn't just made real because they kissed

It always existed

im of the personal opinion you can be in a romantic relationship platonically. this makes sense to me and thats what matters

The precise moment when souls in connection ride through the lands of pleasure.
