if you see someone as a person, love and lust are united. if you see someone as an object of your lust, love has left the place.

Love is Trust, Understanding, always wanting the best for each other. You feel like you have had the worst day of your life then you think of that person or you see that special person and it makes your heart smile. You feel happy when you see them, complete, whole, relaxed. All you want to do is make them happy, no matter what it takes. Love is like worship. They don't even need to touch you and you feel butterflies in your stomach. You feel like you are intoxicated.
Lust is when you see some and there is one thing on your mind. Lets do it, Then after you finish you rush to put your clothes on and you don't even have a 1 minute cuddle of 5 seconds kiss. or they rush you into it or force you. that is not love its lust because they don't think of what u want or how u feel they just want your body. You might be saying it hurts stop but they pretend they never heard or just keep on going on or say it Will stop in a little while that is lust. Love is when he cares for you and the first time you do it with him you wil make Love no have sex. He will keep on asking you are you alright, he will look at you.

Lust is immoral desire for someone other than your spouse. You lust after someone when you are just after the sexual pleasure and do not desire any further relationship. True love does not act that way, but will nurture a relationship and cherish it, and will do everything possible to keep that love alive and will not be afraid to make the commitment to one person no matter what, for better or worse, for all time. That is the difference between lust and love.

I HAVE BEEN ASKING THIS QUESTION TO MYSELF SINCE PAST FEW DAYS. I HAVE REALISED THAT LOVE IS PURE AND IF IT HAS ANY ELEMENT OF PHYSICAL ATTRACTION THEN ALSO IT IS PURE BUT LUST IS ONLY ABOUT ANIMAL INSTINCTS. LUST IS WITHOUT DOUBT A SIN. AND IT IS NOT SELFELESS LIKE LOVE.

Easy. Love does not require sex. Sex is the main focus of lust.

Krishna dasa Kaviraja Gosvami in Sri Chatianya Charitamrita says,
"Lust and love have different characteristics, just as iron and gold have different natures".
PURPORT
One should try to discriminate between sexual love and pure love, for they belong to different categories, with a gulf of difference between them. They are as different from one another as iron is from gold.
"The desire to gratify one’s own senses is kama [lust], but the desire to please the senses of Lord Krishna is prema [love]"
Some portions from the purport by
A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Founder-Acharya ofISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
The author of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta asserts with authority that sexual love is a matter of personal sense enjoyment. All the regulative principles in the Vedas pertaining to desires for popularity, fatherhood, wealth and so on are different phases of sense gratification. Acts of sense gratification may be performed under the cover of public welfare, nationalism, religion, altruism, ethical codes, Biblical codes, health directives, fruitive action, bashfulness, tolerance, personal comfort, liberation from material bondage, progress, family affection or fear of social ostracism or legal punishment, but all these categories are different subdivisions of one substance—sense gratification. All such good acts are performed basically for one’s own sense gratification, for no one can sacrifice his personal interest while discharging these much-advertised moral and religious principles. But above all this is a transcendental stage in which one feels himself to be only an eternal servitor of Kåñëa, the absolute Personality of Godhead. All acts performed in this sense of servitude are called pure love of God because they are performed for the absolute sense gratification of Sri Krishna. However, any act performed for the purpose of enjoying its fruits or results is an act of sense gratification. Such actions are visible sometimes in gross and sometimes in subtle forms.

Love is lasting. It is based in the heart and not the genital region. It is an all-encompassing feeling; if you are straight, you can feel love for one of your own gender without feeling "weird" and if you are gay, you can feel love for one of the opposite gender without feeling "weird". Those who truly love love you for who you are, right now, at this moment. No strings attached. No "I'll love you if--". Those who truly love one another can go years without communicating or meeting, and then when they meet it is as if you had never been away from them.

lust...is the physical desire to be with someone...love, is the desire of the heart to be with someone no matter what, to include if that person was not able to have sex.

Lust is what you're trying to GET.
Love is what you're trying to GIVE.
