LOVE (ask) is a stretch of time, in which two persons seek to explore each other, madly and with an uncontrollable desire that defies all intellect.
This desire to explore and discover the other must be mutual; or love can not be fulfilled.
Most LOVEs end when there is no more to be discovered in the other party. Only rarely LOVEs can develop into another level of relation called sevgi (English Language is not rich enough to express the difference; hence the confusion). Sevgi is full identification of oneself with the other party, in which the two individuals become "one". Sevgi, once attained, is forever.
Sevgi is a high rank that requires spiritual maturity to attain. and can hardly be observed between cute and willing tourist ladies and handsome hotel bar tenders.
