A few months ago I asked myself, "What's love?" Now I think i know what it is. First let me ask this question. What is the first thing you see when you hear the word love? i bet most of you thought boyfriend and girlfriends. Right? I would of (exspecially a few moths ago.) And i'm not saying that's wrong, but that image is so engraven in our mind that we have forgotten the other side of love and what it is. If you look in the dictionary you'll find it means alot of things, but i want you to take a not to this: a: unselfish layal and concern for the good of another (also) warm attachment, ethusiasm, or devotion. This means, at least to me, that love can be felt to more then just a boyfriend or a girlfriend (hugs and kisses). but should be applied to other people such as you mother, your brother, father, aunt, uncle, sister, best friend, and/or evan that guy down across the street. And as you whisper to your sweet heart that you love them, do you really know what you have just said. One of the reasons so many people are going in and out of relationships, I believe, is because they don't really grasp what they have just commited themselves to. As soon as the gushi-gushi feeling is gone, or as soon as it get's tuff, you don't love 'em any more. That's it, no more. Please! If everybody went by that folosify, no one would have a boyfriend/girlfriend, or spouse for longer then months at a time! So in conclusion, I believe deeply that there should be more enfusence on what love really is. not this gushi-gushi stuff. It is not right, nor is it fair of us to do so. Why can I not love a boy and not want to be in a relationship with him? IF i went up to you right now and said "I love this boy." YOu'd probably think i had a giant crush on him or had a relationship. Why can't we just be close friends?

    Of course. I never believed that what you feel for a boyfriend/girlfriend is love just silly infatuation. This changes if it's something like a husband/wife. Of course if you said, I love this guy I would probably think you're crazy .

    You can be just friends. People don't always see it that way, but if the two of you know then it works. I knew a boy in highschool whom I loved very dearly. We had been in school together for 7 years by senior year. We knew each other in elementary as well, but we had attended different schools. We loved one another, but it was in a strictly platonic sense. He was like a brother to me, and not in any cliche sense. We never even considered a relationship, but people always tried to push us in that direction. We looked out for one another. We cheered the other when they were down, and we spent most of our time debating and discussing everything and anything. It was a loving and wonderful friendship, and it was still a whole different love than what I share for my husband... Not any less real, but very very different. This was a nice post. I think people use the idea of love entirely too freely, and it makes for confusion of what it really mean s to love someone.
