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 when your heart skips a beat every time you think of that person. When you smell Thier perfume and they are miles away. When you dream of them every night, just to wake in the morning and miss them so much it hurts to breath because they're not there. When the phone rings and you know it's them before you even answer. When he wraps you in his arms and you become the most beautiful woman in the world...ever. When you would rather stop breathing than be without them.

Love is rude and assuming, it never asks first to invade your heart and mind. It also never checks with you before it leaves either. It makes some people blind, starves a bunch, makes even more sick, then some crazy and foolish, causes others to trip or skip the worst some acctually revert back to BABY TALKING, getting all GOOO GOOOO and GAAAAAA GAAAA!
