The word love goes back to the very roots of the English language. Old English lufu is related to Old Frisian luve, Old High German luba, Gothic lubo. There is a cognate lof in early forms of the Scandinavian languages. The Indo-European root is also behind Latin lubet meaning it is pleasing and lubido meaning desire. The word is recorded from the earliest English writings in the 8th century.

Love is one of the deepest emotions a human will ever feel and experience.

Love, it's beautiful. It's that fancy feeling that starts in your pants, crawls up your guts, and takes your heart for a ride. While it's skittering around your insides, it also releases a powerful concoction of drugs they call PEA. I don't know of any other socially acceptable thing that people do, where they get PEA'd on, act like a jackass, and hallucinate. Yes. Hallucinate. I know, it sounds like I'm against the stuff. Let me assure you that I am not. I loev me some lovin! That shit's the shit! <3 <3 <3

The sense of elation, exhilaration and euphoria that new lovers feel is largely due to their bodies producing a natural amphetamine called phenylethylamine (PEA). So if you feel drugged, it’s because you are!

I doubt that. You ARE human (I can tell by your beautiful poetry). It just hasn't been awoken yet.

for me love is being with someone who cares for you and who was always there for you even if you werent always there for them. love is knowing everything about a person no matter how fucked up it is and still wanting to be with them
that is what im expericing right now with my boyfriend. if thats not love then what is?

Love? What is love? Love is the sun and the moon.
Light and Dark.
Cold and Warm.
Love is when you cry for no reason because your happy
Love is when your heart starts to pound and hands start to sweat.
Love is a dream?
Love is a nightmare?
Love has no definite meaning
No definite shape, size, or color
Love is like air it comes naturaly
and you cain't live without it.
Love is like space and can go on forever.
It goes on and on.
But the only way to find True love
is to let it come to you
let it be natural
where you cain't explain it...
Because that's what it is unexplainable

It's an ancient question, but worth examining all the same. I'll refer to my beloved Devil's Dictionary for the elusive answer:
LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.
