Screw The Dictionary For This Word
Love-adj. A feeling of affection for another, or to like a person or thing a great deal.
ex. I will always love my son.
I love my tan coat.
Okay cut the crap.
Everyone knows what love is, but so few can give you
an adequate definition.
Is it midnight phone calls?
Or always having someone to talk to?
Is it being totally devoted to that person?
To the point where you can see no one else?
Is it laughing at their jokes?
Or holding their hand?
Is it remaining friends when the relationship is over?
Is it a promise?
A truth?
Or a big, fat lie?
Can love last for ever?
Or does obligation keep us, till death do us part?
Is love being able to make that sacrifice?
Or is letting the ultimate form of love?
Is holding on to what's lost?
Can love ever die, or does it just go comatose?
Will ever wake up again?
Can love live on life support?
Can a human live without love or
is it like air?
You can't touch it, but you can sometimes see it.
You can hear it, but you can often feel it's warmth.
Is love a delusion?
Something made up by the human mind?
Or is it the only thing that's real?
Why do so many people search and never find it,
yet some fall unwillingly into it's hiding place?
Does it have a system of selection?
Is love a comedian?
Because sometimes, looking back, it makes you laugh so hard.
Or something worse, that makes you cry everytime you hear that song...
Is there one definition of love or is it impossible to define the magnitude of human feeling?
Does it really need to be defined?
We all know what it is.
Love is a question
we'll never know the answer to.
The word without
a definition.
Love it what we'll always and never understand.

my thought on love is a expression of need so great that you would cross time and space infinite, give up your convictions and yes even die for. It's the energy of the living beating heart of God.
