Love is ...
Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.

1. Love is when you care more about someone else's well being than your own.

4. I am not religious by any means (agnostic) but I like this Bible verse:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+13

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

6. love is ...
Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love.
Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

7. If you love someone,
let them go. Then grab your huntin' rifle, the one with the scope, hunt them down and tell them you'll shoot them in the head if they don't come back. :evilgrin:

Just kidding. Great post. I used to love the "Love Is" items in the paper when we had them here back in the 1970s! I'd cut out and saved them, but alas, they were thrown away somewhere.

9. Love is real.....real is love.
According to John Lennon, anyway. My own experience hasn't been as good, unfortunately.

12. My dear Tuesday Afternoon!
Love...it's the central topic of my life...

To love someone deeply and to be loved deeply in return is to experience the highest sort of joy...

I have been extremely lucky to have been loved that way...

For me, it's more than bodies that join...

Souls join as well...

And I believe that true love will survive your lover's death, or your own...

It is worth everything you go through to experience...


:loveya: :hug: :loveya:
