But watch out the TRENCHES.

Love is a basic dimension of human experience that manifests itself in feelings, emotion, behavior, thoughts, perception and attitude. It influences, underlies and defines major patterns in interpersonal relationships and self-identification.
Love is variously conveyed as a sense of tender affection, an intense attraction, the foundation of intimacy and good interpersonal chemistry[1], willing self-sacrifice on behalf of another, and as an ineffable sense of affinity or connection to nature, other living beings, or even that which is unseen.
The diverse range of meanings associated with the single word 'love' is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for Love, reflecting the depth, versatility, and complexity of the concept.
This diversity of meanings is further reflected in the many distinct classifications of love including: romantic love; sexual desire; platonic love; religious love; familial love; true love; and the more casual application of the term to anything pleasurable, enjoyable, desirable, or preferred, including activities and favorite foods
I prefer these thoughts;
“For an instant, love can transform the world.”
“But some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real faint - like a heartbeat. And pure love - why, some days it's so quiet, you don't even know it's there.”
“There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love.”
“True love is like a psychic experience. Everyone tells ghost stories, but few have ever seen a ghost.”
“To be in love is merely to be in a state of perpetual anesthesia - to mistake an ordinary young woman for a goddess.”
“To love is find pleasure in the happiness of the person loved.”
“When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.”
“No one acts more foolishly than a wise man in love.”
“No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved.”
“Love is liking someone better than you like yourself.”
“Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, will never...never forget it.”

Love is the highest level of respect that one individual gives freely to another individual. There are also different types or levels of love. For example, agape love is the love shared among friends. There are quite a few actually.

Close your eyes, go back in time when you were a child. a dreamer, when everything was perfect to your life, when you were happy and when your were able to only see a good things on people.. that is called love..
Deep inside of your heart there is a voice that tells exactly what love means to you.....
good luck

Different Types
Romantic Love- a strong affection and desire for someone usually of the opposite sex.
Religious Love- honoring and appreciating God and your holy spirit.
Family Love- Taking care and enjoying being around your family.
A love for something- a great joy of something...a sport, a hobby (ex. art, music, soccer, baseball, designing, drawing, etc.)

a myth..that is romantic love, for a person, not of your family. love for the family, is having a fox hole mentality. to have someones back. to take a punch..to be willing to die for. to support to the point, if that person decided they had a good reason to go out into the middle of the road and take a pea...and you didn't even know that reason, you would tell anyone that ask you, 'why in the world would that person do that?' i don't know but i am sure they think they have a very good reason to be out in the middle of the road taking a pea. and i support them in their reasoning.

“Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”

Pure, however, most people think they are expirencing love when they are really feeling something close to love.

I think love is pretty simple. It's just caring about someone more than you care about most other things.
You can love anyone. (You can care about anyone.)
You can love a friend. (You can really care about a friend.)
You can love a romantic partner. (You can very much care about a romantic partner.)
You can love yourself. (You can care about yourself.)
That's what love is.
