I couldn't agree more with you...I think that after a certain time people just feel that they have to say it bc its like the standard or something. Personally, I don't believe in love although I will admit that I have said it. However, for the most part I think ppl say it because they feel some strong connection/bond/feeling, but whatever it is and however long it lasts....its only temporary. And after the break up (and there will be always a break up) u realize that it was a mere dellusion and u realize that there were too many imperfections and flaws and realize ur own stupidity as well as indecisiveness... And u go back and start from scratch...
