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 patient, kind, is not jealous, is not proud, is not self promoting, does not behave unruly, does not seek it's own, is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Well, the only thing I can say about your current situation.... Have a really good cry, get it out of your system, grab a comfort item (most ladies it's Ben and Jerry's, most guys is pizza and beer) and watch a really good Cary Grant movie(ladies) and a good action film (guys).....
Then I want you to get up off your rump... Open the curtains, look out at all that this world has to offer... There are TONS of people out there with similar ups and downs just like you... Go out there and find a new guy/girl... Let them benefit from knowing what a terrific person you are... Pretty soon, the heartache will be gone and you'll enjoy life again.

Love is pain and gain. Sometimes its only pain. So it depends what kind of situation are you in. Don't put your heart out there open because people will make sure they broke your heart good. So be care full before you play heart game. Learn how to play this game good so you don't hurt your self lot.

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.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.

Love is Accepting,Appreciating, Wanting Another to Feel Good.
Love is a feeling and the expression of that feeling is separate. It’s an action. Love expressed is when you give your attention, your time, your focus to someone.etc.....
