I agree with several of the others, butterflies and heart racing and all that fade with time and familiarity. In my opinion its true love if you still stay with that person after all the crazy newness wears off. Once your hormones calm down a bit and your emotions aren't being overuled by your sex drive and the excitement of the new you can sit back and see how deep your feelings go. I love my girl because of her strength, her sense of humour and all the things that make her unique. My heart doesn't race the way it did when we first kissed and I don't often get butterflies but when I look in her eyes I know she is the one for me. She is my friend and companion. I tell her my secrets and she tells me hers. We share our lives. We rejoice with each other when things are good and we stand by each other even when things are bad and we are arguing. These are the things I see as love. Sounds like you've already decided you don't love this girl. Perhaps after seven years (it seems you were pretty young when you got together) you have grown apart. Maybe you are destined to just be good friends but before I left the relationship I'd give it a lot of thought and be sure you are in touch with how you really feel. Maybe talk to her as well and see how she perceives your realtionship. Whatever happens I wish you the best.
