Love is different for every individual person. There is the love a parent has for a child and there is a brother-sister love. Affection is a big part of love. Have you had affection? Then, you have had love. There is friendship love and then, of course, there is the sexual love. I would think that caring is a big part of love, but it's more than that. For me, and I am told by many that my soul's being is the essence of the definition of love, it's the feeling of sensuality and beauty, especially if it's natural. I know from experience that some people never feel true love. Usually a good soldier can care, but for his sanity, cannot love.

Love is the letting someone know you are there for them when you do not want to be or it is not convenient love makes sacrifice easier and you do things without thinking about it. To get through this life and on to the next. Love is not selfish can you figure that out.

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

Love = cannot survive alone. Must involve two people. Comes in different tones of emotion, depending on the application. Must be nurtured in order to survive. Is something to grow, not somewhere to be. Cannot be experienced by those who don't believe in it.

The meaning of love is specific to the individual lover. for some love is purely emotional, for others, it seems to be physical. there is no one meaning of love. if u dont believe in love, thats great. i wish i could be in ur position. but u'll kno it when u feel it. its unbelievable fondness and attraction. its bliss and joy. its pain and fear. its more than i ever asked for. its completely different than anything i've ever experienced. The meaning of love is however you interpret it.

Love. (Romantic Love)
Not being afraid to allow something or someone consume you, the willingness and want to lose yourself completely and surrender to something you shouldn't, or something unknown.

Give up your happiness for someone else? Guess I don't believe in it either.
