Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

Love is thought-provoking, yet without thought. Love is having everything and knowing nothing, yet it is knowing everything and having nothing too. Love is the closeness of togetherness, and love is the solitude of isolation. Love is inspiration, intuition, joy. Yet it is also heartbreak and loneliness and solitude. Love is the trembling excitation of newness, and the shaking of the grief of loss. Love is a slow and steady pace, yet too, it is the exuberance that makes us want to run and dance and sing. Love is ecstasy and misery, sureness and confusion. Love makes us feel as if we could do anything, yet love also makes us feel like nothing at all at times. Love is being light-headed and dizzy, yet love is feeling heavy and as if about to die. Love is the slow and steady heart, yet the flutter of its racing too. It is freedom, yet it can also be the bars of a prison found deep within, Love is ageless and timeless and without dimension, yet love is here and now in this moment of forever. Love is ancient and new and ever-becoming. Love is what we always and ever and never can have, for love is dynamic. Love is the worth and the meaning and the quality of hope and hopelessness. Love is the glory of enlightenment and the darkness of unknowing.

Since you ask this on the biology questions, can I assume you are looking for something other than a dictionary definition? Like the actual cause of the feeling of love?
Biologically, it is hormones and the dopamine reactors in the brain. Oxytocin is a strong love hormone, for instance. It is the hormone causing a mother to love her baby. Testosterone is the sexual love hormone in both male and female.
Also, biologically, it has no "meaning" as such. It is what keeps animals producing more of their own kind and when necessary, taking care of offspring.

The answer lies within yourself. Love depends on the person themselves, especially from their beliefs and ideas.
The universal idea of love is always wanting to be with someone because they make them happy, make them see things in a different perspective, show them paths through life. However this could change for different people, say for example how a religion influences love. Someone could express love for their God by being good to other people and helping the helpless while some do it by committing suicide bombings in the name of god. One may sound less reasonable than the other however both examples express one's love.

Love for me is patient and kind never envy and jealous. Love is hard to do because you have to earn and have to take care of it.More on to sacrifice.
