I've never really known what it means. So is it:
First love?
Love that grows?
Love that goes (past love)?
Love that lasts?
Your only love?

I'm watching a movie and one of the characters says "She was the love of my life and the life of my love" smile.

Crafting stand away from the wine glass, lol.

The love of my life was the young man I had a five year relationship with after I got divorced. He was kind, thoughtful, generous with time and spirit, made me laugh every day and made me feel loved and cared for. I was married for 19 years and my ex was mean spirited with time, had me frustrated and confused, in tears more times than I care to remember and was violent.

I still miss the love of my life after eight years without him but at least I have had that time in my life.
