What are the differences between romantic love and true love?

There are many forms of love but the most commonly confused forms would have to be Romantic, and True. Even though many effects of Romantic and True love are the same, feelings and the reasons which cause the effects to take place, are what differentiate Romantic and True love. What causes a person to "fall" into either Romantic, or True love could be the same, but could also be different. Both will cause joy, but …

…not cause pain. If faced with the choice of which love to take, it is clear which should be chosen. The problem is True love cannot be chosen. One cannot say which pot of gold they want, when they want it, and where they are going to find it. Hence the fact that many find themselves lighting their favorite candle hoping that it won't burn out, but knowing where to get more when it does.
