What? With all the romcoms we need an answer about what love is? My sarcasm aside....think for me love of a partner entails passion, romance, sacrifice and autonomy. Hurting when they hurt. Joyous when they are. Thinking of them before self. Giving each other space to be themselves outside the relationship. Lovemaking prevailing over "just sex". From the Old Testament to Shakespeare to erotica and romance novels there have been attempts to define love. But in the end we probably need to follow our own heart for our own definition.
Love is when you have that very special connection with a person . Totally different to sex which is just physical.
Love is real, real is love Love is feeling, feeling love Love is wanting to be loved Love is touch, touch is love Love is reaching, reaching love Love is asking to be loved Love is you You and me Love is knowing we can be Love is free, free is love Love is living, living love Love is needing to be loved To me, it's trust... Trust is at the foundation of love. Prediction... Reliance. It's a responsibility to another's emotions.
If you had asked me on our wedding day if I loved my wife, I believe I would have replied, "Can you define love?" I was in a very bad accident shortly after we were married and spent two months in the hospital. My wife came to visit me every day and that was not easy as we did not own a car, she was a full time student and worked part time. When I left the hospital, I knew that I was deeply in love with my wife.
Love is a word found in any dictionary, and almost every dictionary merely contains popular definitions, but almost nobody knows they contain popular definitions, and over half the public makes up their own definitions. In the US, love is currently defined by reality TV as "Money", which is the single biggest cause of divorce, which is the single largest reason for suicide, with conservative males preferring to use handguns, and having the highest suicide rates, so keep the gun laws at third world rates! Love depends on it...
I'm way past sad, this entire fucking world is going down the toilet, and its time to get angry! Your love gives me such a thrill, but it won't stop global warming, won't pay my fucking bills, and is either helpful in saving our asses, or a distraction the world can live without. Sorry, but after a lifetime of being lied to by everyone around me, discovering our teachers can't even teach a child how to use a fucking dictionary, and now watching Donald Duck and the Tea Party pass themselves off as saving the world for white people, love will have to wait until I find one honest person willing to discuss things rationally, starting with using a fucking dictionary.
Technically, I'm engaged to the Dragon, and mama nature will never let me fall in love. The Dragon is nice, but on the other side of planet, conservative Asian, and not even remotely compatible, other than, sharing a sense of humor that's so mathematical, nobody else could understand us talking.
