LOVE
--A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
--A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.
--An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object. A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.
--An expression of one's affection: To like or desire enthusiastically.
Those listed above are the answers explained directly from a dictionary. What would I say love is?
An emotion, gathered and stored by the heart and soul of each person, whether it be for another, themselves, or anything else with deep emotional attachment. It is not found, nor grown. It just comes, and is there. It warms your heart and your thoughts, and grows even more when love is given in return. For those that have said it truly doesn't exist? Your wrong, Love can whither and die, just as surely as that of the petals of a rose can, but the reason for it dying will always be an effect from yourself.
Life is not about the fairy tale version of what love is, or how it comes about, or how it ends. Love is simply a likeness for life. It too will hold troubled times, lost times, or periods of confusion, but within those, warm memories always shine through, reminding you of what a great and ominous feeling love can share. Thats the one reason why those that have lost someone or something they loved, continue to live each day. You remember what it was like, and how it could be again. Love is simple.......Love is Life......Love is just Love. There are no true definitions, for love is interpreted by each person in their own way.
