OoooOOOOoo!!! I think I can answer this. Love is the affinity of growth in caring and lust can exist within love but love never exists within lust. Love is the most positive of emotions and it is the most expressive of them all... from random acts of kindnesses done to the other, placing the other's needs ahead of your own, and in constant bonding, even while the other is not in close proximity. Lust is desire... fabulous displays of physical touch and tactile stimulation... verbal and auditory stimulation, as well as visual effects... it is a physical manifestation of being wanton in your own needs so much... as you might tend to place them over the other's so to satisfy your lusty self. Lust is not as tried and true and can be totally negative after the lustfulness wanes... Whereas, love usually lasts and lingers long after the two lovers have parted their own ways. But, really... I don't know... I have only loved and never had true love bestowed upon me... so maybe another here will have better and more accurate answers.

My take...
...if you can't let go, it ain't love.

 Speaking from an old rounders viewpoint, I am first attracted to a lady by her sexual attractiveness, i.e. whether I'd like to lure her into the boudoir! I call that lust...I can "fall in love" later

I think attraction is highly important and that initial attraction (be it physical or whatever) is what begins to lay the foundation to falling in love.

People meet, they date, they do whatever and then the relationship can grow or be tossed out the window.

Lust is an overpowering feeling that pulls at you where love is more lasting and steady. Probably doesn't help but you can lust after a person for ages and when you get that person you find it really meant nothing.... love you can go without that person but something keeps you and when you get that love back you find it makes you whole.

You know
Really we all should know the answer to this question. Lust is anything physically attracting us to someone. Love is beyond that.
