Love can be many different things to all of us. I can give you two examples of what most everyone considers to be love at least at these particular moments.
The first is when the groom is standing at the altar and the bride is walking down the aisle. If you have ever been to a wedding or been married you know what I'm talking about. Watch their eyes meet at this moment and you will see an example of true love.
The other one is the first moments after a lady has given birth to her child and they lay the baby on the Mother's chest. Here is this beautiful little baby struggling to use thier eyes as they see their Mother and their Mother sees them for the first time. If you have ever given birth or been able to be there during the birth of a child and see this, you would also know that this is true love.
I hope this helps to answer your question.

According to Robert Sternberg's research, "Love" is an emotion consisting of three components: intimacy, passion & committment.
Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.
-Intimacy alone is Liking (true friendship without passion or long-term commitment)
Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone. Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.
-Passion alone is Infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment)
Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship. Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.
-Commitment alone is Empty Love (decision to love another without intimacy or passion)
Romantic Love: Intimacy & Passion, no Commitment
-Lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment
-“As in a summer romance”
Companionate Love: Intimacy & Commitment, but no Passion
-Long-term committed friendships or a marriage in which the passion has faded
-I love you but I’m not IN love with you
Fatuous Love: Passion & Commitment, but no Intimacy
-Commitment based on passion with without time for intimacy to develop
-Shallow relationship such as a whirlwind courtship
Consummate Love: A complete love consisting of all three components

When your "in love" you can't eat,sleep or think properly.Your stomach curdles at the thought of your lover.You daydream and cant concentrate on anything and sometimes cry with happiness.You wonder what you would do if you didn't see him/her very soon.The problem is,it does not last for ever and dies a slow death so enjoy it while it lasts !

It is something you feel it inside, it is the feeling of lost when the partner is a Way from you. Love makes your hart beat quickly. Love is something that you do not find but you feel.

love is giving your whole essence, being to another completely. It makes you feel alive. Your whole head and heart fill up with this tingly sensation whenever you think of the person you love.You feel like a new person.

Love is alot of things and there are many explanations and definitions of it. Real true love is unselfish and kind and loves others over itself and what it wants. It is unselfish and giving and seeks no wrong!

Sometimes love is just a feeling that you feel when you feel like feeling the feeling you have never felt before.
that is the reason there is so much divorce, the feeling fades easily.

" Love is not to look in each other eyes and say I love you but it's to look in the same direction. "
