Loving someone more than yourself. Knowing that you will go through ANYTHING with him/her and that he would love you even if you lost a breast or became really sick. Love is also trust and respect - being friends - enjoying being together more than you do being apart.
Love is 2 old people, with the man or woman, who can hardly walk, pushing the other in a wheel chair. It's going through the ride of life together - knowing that you share something that you never shared with anyone else.
