Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"

Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. It is considered a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships. However, in different contexts, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include Platonic love, religious love, familial love, and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including activities and foods. This diverse range of meanings in a single word is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the word's versatility and complexity.
Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love". As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.

love is the most presious thing in the entire universe. so fleeting as to be rarer than the easter bunny seen hunting foxes.
or is it just a throwback to our primitive ancestory, the one drive of all living organisms "procreation".
could be just a gimic to reinforce valentines day.
could be that it really depends on who you are and what stage of your life you're in.
regardless it matters not, even if i could truely trap the essence of that, the most mysterious of lifes forces (love), with mere mortal words it wouldn't help any of us. love is and always will be wild and untamed by man (or woman).

love has no real definition... no time... no age... no limit or boundaries... it is like air... no shape or size...invisible but keeps you alive... it's like a pair of wings that lifts you and like gravity that keeps you grounded...
love is like an emotion... you can feel it like blood pulsin throu u... love is like a dagger... if held right.. it can protect you... if touched in the wrong way... can permanently scar you...
love is truth... it is lies... hate and admiration... it is a song sung to ease the soul... and also a ragin storm the thunders up the roarin sea...
love is God... a friend... a memory... an enemy... a shadow that follows you...
love... is my bleedin heart...
