10 points to a good answer!!!

I NEED SOME ANSWERS PEOPLE

Answer 1

Real Love means being there no matter what and loving them for who they are. Real love can be rare but does exist. A person can see this in people that grew up together and were there for each other through happy and sad times. It gets harder to find this since people are moving so much now days and the attachments aren't as great. Also, neighbors aren't as friendly as they generally were 50 years ago; we all tend to keep to ourselves and are more reserved.

Answer 2

Elation at the thought of her. Kindness even though I can't have her and she mocks me publicly.
Adoration,though I feel foolish for feeling anything for such a biatch.
Love is the sweetest of things and it encompasses many feelings. Love is complex and painful, unbound and joy full, beastly and ravaging, quiet and torturously sweet.

Love does not seek for itself.
By the way, I'm married to her.
