What the hell is "love"?

I don't even know what love is i think.

Is it that feeling you get when you can't live without a person? Is it more than a feeling?

What is the definition of love for another person for you?



love
1 a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties <maternal love for a child> (2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3) : affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests <love for his old schoolmates> b : an assurance of love <give her my love>

when you think about the person on every waking moment, always thinking of the ways to make her/him happy, wanting nothing but the best for the person. It is almost self-sacrificial, doesn't want anything in return.

now that my friend, is love. I believe love from parent-to-child is much stronger and more pure than spouse-to-spouse

love is... a battlefield
make sure you come out on top !

Love is about mutual caring, understanding (or at least trying to understand/accept) and nuturing.
It's lilke you genuinely care about someone and want to make them feel nice becuase they feel the same about you.
You feel totally comfortable when hugging someone you love.

Love is Love, Man...Hug someone you love today

Every waking moment? Nah, that would be an obsession.

But yes, as a parent of two kids, I can guarantee that there is nothing stronger than the love between a parent and child.

I think the words of Usher say it best:

:music:You got it, you got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
(Ooh) You got it, you got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when
You stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
'Cos all you think about
You got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' 'bout somebody else
You got it bad:music:

:D

(Yeah, I am kidding here folks)

As much as I'd rather not quote scripture on ATOT, 1st Corinthians 13 sums it up very well:

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

If you feel for another in this way and can understand and empathize with this quote, then you are feeling love.

love is when the person you love is not there with you and you know "damn...something aint right"

It's that feeling of an evening off, a cold beer beside me, and a new Xbox game. Ah, love.

Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't
Get enough of the stuff It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
