Asking for an answer and excluding the answer is foolish. It's like asking someone to define a word without a dictionary. Any answer I give will be based on Scripture, however, I can avoid quotes if you want. Love is a decision, not an emotion, that's why you can be angry at your child and still love him/her. That's how God can be angry at us and still love us. There are a number of attributes love has, which are listed in Scripture, but since you don't like it, I'll let you research it yourself on your own time.

Love is a word that describes a high degree of affinity or liking for someone or something.
Love comes under a certain laws including the affinity and affection with which Mankind holds for Mankind. This also covers other parts of life, both material and living things.
This is a degree of reach, or closeness towards something.
Love between partners is a sexual selection and is a true magnetism between two people.
There is also a compulsive "Love" which is dictated by obsession and irrational compulsions.
A persons ability to feel high degrees of affinity is
in direct ratio to his ability to communicate with and experience something. You cannot increase your communication and reality(agreement) without proportionally increasing your affinity to the same degree.
The reverse is also true(decrease) with ANY of these 3 points of Affinity. Reality & Communication = The ARC Triangle.

Without using the bible as a crutch one could say that the definition of love is 'pure 'reason'.

Thats the only way to explain it, with bible scripture. 1st Corinthians 13
Thats the ultimate love.

Depends on the type pf love. Love in general is a deep feeling of affection and intimacy.

Love comes from God. God is love. (That's not a bible scripture) That leads up to your question, the meaning of love. I personally have the opinion that love cannot be defined. You cannot just slap a definanition on it. Love cannot be defined it can only be experienced. Webster may have a few fancy words of defanition for it, but the closest way to TRULEY define love, is to experience it.

Even the Bible does not define love. It describes it in 1 Corinthians 13, but never defines it.
4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails
