It's been one of three things for me:

Like having a cool friend you see a lot. Good memories, but never a relationship that lasted.
Someone working out how to twist my own mind against me, controlling me for their own gain and never actually understanding that a relationship isn't a transaction. (and hopefully that one isn't stalking me on lemmy again, otherwise I or one of my friends will get harassed and I'll be filling out an intervention order)
The most beautiful thing that I didn't know was possible, I thought I'd been happy before but when you meet the right person you really do just click and life becomes worth living. Never felt so good about myself as I did then, just hurt all the more to lose it so suddenly. I've written a lot about others I've only met briefly, songs about people who'd never think of me that way, but when it's true love I just can't. I don't think anything I can say could really capture that. There just isn't enough poetry in the world to describe how magical it is to look up at a pair of beautiful brown eyes swimming in a field of stars and hearing them say "I love you" for the first time.
