What is love?

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 a feeling everyone experiences in a Lifetime, when Life becomes beautiful - One Loves to do something for someone special -Unconditionally. When lips take a backstage and eyes do the talking. But one should always express his Love to others as we tend to take it for granted

love feels like your flying inside your heart it soars and your mind is whirling. it's unconditional no matter what may happen. it also can hurt very badly when that person may not love you back you feel as if you can't face the day. when your in their arms it feels like your falling and time could possibly freeze at least you hope it will just for a moment. anyway that's what does it for me.

Love is a feeling that you like a person of opposite sex and want to be with him/her for the whole of your life.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it aways protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Love is when your very existance depends on the happiness of another. It has to be at a level where your heart breaks when youre not with them. Its like living at another level.
