You have to lose me before you find me. I can be there if you look enough, but don't look too close, or I will disappear. What am I?

it's probably *Love*

Explanation:

let me know if I'm right

thx for the points<3

I'm gonna say the love between a broken/mended/stable relationship.

Explanation:

If you've lost someone that's in your family that you used to hate, you wish you never hated them. You learn to love them. So when you lose love, that's really when the love starts.

When it says, "I can be there if you look close enough..." it means that you have to "search yourself" to see why you love this specific person. Why you care about them.And when it says, "look to close", that means that if you try to love someone without wanting to, you could end up ruining everything between all of it.

So I'm going to say that the thing that's being talked about in these clues is Love.
