love can sometimes be magic... but magic can just be an ilussion
Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods. At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.
Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Love is giving someone the power to destroy you...but trusting them not to.
Love is when you find someone who is your best friend and you can be yourself around them. Its when words can't come close to how you feel. Its when you know you are suposed to be together. And if you have to wait forever . . . You Will

I am not sure how to define love... Here is how I define HATE...so maybe view love as just the opposite...What is hate? Most people will tell you that it is an emotion, one extreme and vile, categorized with malicious feelings such as jealousy. Some will tell you it is the culmination of anger into an unforgiving, permanent form. Most will tell you that hate is stubborn, blind, and relentless. Hate is the culmination and prolonged climax of one’s own relentless beliefs, heightened to the point that the individual relinquishes perspective in favor of a single-minded, one-dimensional rush. Do people attempt to use hate in order to push forth what they believe is right? Indeed they do, and even in this "civil" society of the early 21st century, people still resort to their basest instincts in order to advance and to force their beliefs upon others. We continue to hate for our one-dimensional view on what is "right", and what is civil. But civil blood makes even the most civil hands unclean. Our sad fault is that sometimes we think money can be a cleaning towel. You know, Love is long suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for it's own interests, does not become prevoked. It does not keep account of injury. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS.... Maybe this helps with your question.

Answer 4

Love is having feelings for someone that you care a lot about...if you love someone you think about them, can't wait to talk them, worry about them, want to spend as much time with them as possible.

Similar to being IN love. There's a lot more things but you'll just have to experience them.
And yes...love hurts.

Answer 5

The dictionary defines it as a strong feeling of affection.I think love is something that is unique and should take time to build.Love should not be about sex alone,it should also be about getting to know each other and enjoying each other's company."Nothing can compare to your first true love."When you love someone with all your heart and soul and is committed to him/her,noting can break you apart and you will not dare to hurt each other.When you two break up,you will be upset and angry.Love is a special thing that doesn't take one night to build.
