Love is profound, love is magical, love is unfathomable. Love can pull a person up off the ground as if on wires, yet keeping one's feet upon the earth is critical to long-lasting, emotionally-fulfilling, adequately-hyphenated relationships.
More later.
May sound silly but... for me, love is closing my eyes, and being able to feel the person I love, even if we're miles apart... it's never being alone, even when there is no one around... never sleeping alone again, even when there's no one to share the bed with... because I know that somewhere, he's thinking of me, as I am thinking of him. To quote one of my favourite quotes... "there is some madness in love... but there is also some reason in madness"
Now the realistic part of me comes in and adds: it's a pity a heart can be so easily broken... because, at least for me, the wounds of betrayed love never completely heal...
Hm... I think I'm getting to paranoical even for my paranoical way of being ^_^
no it's actually right i mean to me because love is when you feel somthing for someone, and that something is so strong there could be miles between eachother but you are so close at the same time...
Love can never be defined no matter how much we try to, else it's magic will be lost should it be bounded by mere personal descriptions. Yet still for me, it's also immesurable, and unbounded by time and space...by flesh and bone...by any matter this whole exsitence can ever create...I don't see it as something infinite (still mathematically calculable) but something eternal...beyond everything...
And a nice definition from Banshee and Chef :thumbs_up
Love is what you all long to have writing so many pages about it :)
heh, never has the truth been summed up so acuratly.Quote:

Why not argue that all the writers we discuss here are in need of love? – they write even more about it than we do. You will always get smart-arse comments from those who know very little but assume they know others.Quote:

I'm sure the pleasure would be all yours. :D
Haha thats cute. I've been away for a bit (good to see you again!) so I confess to only having read the last page so far. Anyway ... "what is love?" ... C. S Lewis wrote a brillient text called The Four Loves. Its a pretty easy read and you can probably find it almost anywhere. If that doesn't suffice for what love is, try the fourth chapter of John's first letter (my personal favorite).
I think that english needs more words for "Love".
The "Love" that we discribe as ethereal, magical and undefinable is really infatuation. Infatuation is quite a lovely state to be in, and the more you feed it, the strongers it gets. This feeling is experienced by everyone at some point, and it is generally the jumping off point for "Love".
The next "Love" is that love that you see in couples that have been together forever. This love is born of mutual sacrifice and mutual dependancy.
Mutual Sacrifice:
People who have this love have begun to overcome their natural self-centeredness and SHOW "Love" (the action), even when they don't FEEL "Love" (the infatuation).
The clincher here is that BOTH parties must be willing to do this.
Mutual Dependancy:
Over time, these couples are able to recognize their partner's sacrifice and be grateful for it. They also simply get used to each other, and begin to feel utterly comfortable with each other.
(And yes, "Love" absolutely includes NEEDING...if I didn't NEED my husband, why in the world would I miss him when he is gone? By definition, you cannot have love and complete independance, you must choose one or the other.)
By any definition, this girl did not love you... Someone who is that caught up with herself Can't Love. In the meantime, save up your money so you can buy a BMW for a girl who REALLY loves you! Does your mom need a new car? Wink
Love to me is this:
-Flying to her home city to surprise her on her birthday.
-Saying how much of a friend you are, when thats all she/he wants to be.
-Being there for them at that exact time their hearts break and they could not feel more alone.
-accepting their choices in life.
-Loving them.
Thats what i feel. hope it helps in this forum.
