Answer that touches my heart the most gets best answer.

Many people are saying love is different things to different people, but the questions was that i want to know what love is to YOU. What YOU think it is. Great answers so far.

so far SWEETUMS1949'S answer is the best.

Answer 1

It's hard for me to sit here and write a really serious answer. I have been hurt so many times that it hurts to even think about it. But I am a romantic at heart so let me see if I can adequately answer Your question.

Love is the sharing of feelings, emotions, of two people. Love is trusting somebody enough to share all those inner thoughts you have. Love is wanting to spend the rest of your life with that one person, that one special somebody who is the other half to yourself. Love is opening yourself up for hurt, going into it knowing that you are going to be hurt, but loving that other person enough that you still trust them not to hurt you, while knowing that they undoubtedly will.

Love is the feeling you get inside when you know without a doubt that you have met your soul mate. Love creeps in and steals your soul, then sneaks out with it and never looks back.

Love makes you feel complete. Love takes you to the highest height that you can feel and then smashes you down to the bottom of the deepest pit on earth leaving you bereft of feeling.

Love makes you happy, even as it makes you sad. It opens up your heart and leaves you the most vulnerable that you will ever be.

Love takes advantage of you. It fills you with joy, and then it crushes you for believing that it is real and lasting. Love takes work, hard work. It needs nuturing if it is to survive the trials that life will put it through.

Love should be forever, but only lasts as long as the two people involved allow it to last. As long as they have trust in each other and are honest and communicate endlessly with one another.

When we fall in love, we think that we are the only people who have ever been in love and that we created it. But love has come and love has gone from the beginning of time. It will never end and we will never cease to believe in it . . . through time and eternity.

Answer 2

To me being in love is caring about someone enough to make myself vulnerable. It's like saying: "Here, take my heart. You can fill it or kill it, the choice is up to you."

I've had my heart broken many times. The first was when I was nine years old. I believe in love and it is the most important thing to me in life. When I meet someone I think I could love I don't guard my heart. I keep my heart open and let myself feel. I'm not afraid to get my heart broken. It has happened several times (I'm actually even going through heartbreak right now). I just know that it will be worth it when I find someone that I love and that loves me back.

Answer 3

love is lots of things to different people. Love to me is wanting to spend the rest of your life with the person you love. You love to be with them and you want to spend as much time as you can with them. You can be yourself around the person. You can make each other feel special even if the other person isn't feeling good that day. You realize that you do not need anyone else as long as you have each other. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor as long as you have each other you are rich. When you are in love you have everything that you need. Money can buy you items but it will never be able to buy you love. Love comes from the heart. You just know that you are in love. Sometimes its hard to describe, its just a warm tingly feeling that you get whenever you are around or think about this person.

Answer 4

If you think about this - deeply - it will win!

------------------------------------------------------------

Some say love - It is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love - It is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love - It is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love - It is a flower
And you-it's only seed

It's the heart - Afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream - Afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one - Who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul - Afraid of dying
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember - In the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed - That with the sun's love
In the spring - Becomes the rose

-----
Love can only be explain in the complex form
That is Love!

Answer 5

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day

You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

We love because it is life's only true great adventure. Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale!

It doesn't make the world go round, but love is what makes the ride worthwhile!

Love is the master key that opens the gates of joy. A loving heart is the truest wisdom!!

Answer 6

For me, I wanted to be with my husband 24/7. (Not in a stalker kind of way). I just wanted to talk to him, be near him, and he is a great cuddlier.
He's the quiet type, and I'm the talker, and when we were dating he would call me at work and basically say not much. I know it sounds weird, but I thought it was great that this big strong quiet guy would call me just to touch base. We've been happily married 22 years and I still feel like its my honeymoon

to me love is:
-the bedroom door in my grandparents' flat. it is painted in watercolors by me and i love it badly. my mother should have freaked out but instead she tried to find shapes in it. she found a parrot and palm trees there. up until today i do not see it but i remember my mother's love to me.

-the song my grandfather had thought of for me. he used to sing it to me and i used to dance. i will always remember him, how he loved to see me dance.

-a box with letters. there are letters of friends from afar telling me how they miss me, letters from relatives i have never met, letters from all kinds of people who showed me, how much they love me with them.

-my father's wallet. my mother kept it ever since he died. this is one of the ways she remembers him. to me, my parents mean love

- a photograph of my grandpa during war times. it has a letter to my grandma's family written on the back of it. it represents how much he had loved her, so that he tried so hard to convince a rich family to accept a poor man.

- the old man with his wife i saw the other day. he acted like a gentleman, was really nice to her, and she smiled at him just like a little girl looks at her crush.

this and much more

Answer 8

Love is very closely related to obsession. So I'd say, not being able to go for very long without thinking of the person. And everytime you do, you smile to yourself. When you see them, your heart smiles, or you get a tingly feeling all over. Also, being able to be yourself, and talk about anything with them without being afraid to. And of course, you think that they're good looking. ;)

Answer 9

To me, the reason I love, who I love, is because he listens to what I say, he makes me laugh, and he is like a very attractive best friend. He gives me the feeling of absolute nirvana. And I can say something, and pretty much KNOW he will agree. =)

Answer 10

My definition of love.



If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
1Cr 13:2

And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1Cr 13:3

If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,[fn1] but have not love, I gain nothing.
1Cr 13:4

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
1Cr 13:5

or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
1Cr 13:6

it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
1Cr 13:7

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1Cr 13:8

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
1Cr 13:9

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
1Cr 13:10

but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
1Cr 13:11

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
1Cr 13:12

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
1Cr 13:13

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
