Google defines 'love' as being "a strong positive emotion of regard and affection" or "a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction".
Nowhere in those definitions does it describe the true feelings of love. It doesn't talk about how connected you feel to a person, how attached you can get. It doesn't talk about how just seeing that one person makes your heart beat faster, or how your palms sweat, or how when you see them it feels like he is the only person in the world. Not only do you get the cliche things such as shakey knee's and butterflies in your stomach, it's much more than that. It's the way they make you feel when they put their arms around you, the way they change your life for the better. How their smile can automatically brighten your day. Hearing their name sends a shiver down your spine.
Alot of people honestly don't know whether they are in love or not. Being "in love" and just loving someone are two totally different things. There's the immature grade 9's who don't know what they're doing in life, thats fake love. Infatuation (aka fake love) - "a foolish and usually extravagant passion or love or admiration". People that think they are just so in love with a guy they met five days ago, they piss me off. You don't find love that way, it's impossible to love someone when you just meet them. Of course that brings up the controversial issure of "love at first sight", that kind of thing should come to you when your older and MUCH more mature.
In order to love someone, you have to realize they have flaws, just like any other person. I mean, sure, you can think that they're perfect, but do you really know them?
You can't say you love someone until you realize and accept their flaws and slight imperfections. In my opinion, you also have to be with them for a long time before you can say you truly love them. It takes more than kisses, hugs, and romantic dates in order to love someone.
Theres also different kinds of love. There's:
Security love- "the feeling of being cared for and nurtured", this is like the love you get from a parent.
Friendship love- "a love between yourself and someone that is totally honest, open and comfortable." This is a love shared between 2 people, either of the same or opposite sex, a very rare and honest mutual feeling.
Romantic love- This is what I explained above.
Unconditional love- "sincere love that lasts forever" This is the person you are destined to be with.
Those are just a few examples of the different types of love. People love many times in their life. They get their heart broken, and feel they can't move on. But thats the best part about it, love is always there. It's everywhere and you can find it in any one.
Unconditional love is also something a mother feels for her child. Something that will NEVER EVER CHANGE! Of course this is possible with your signifcant other as well. But love changes, for example time and distance can change a romantic relationship but time and distance will never change the way a mother feels about her child. Of course I believe love's out there and as much as people argue I personally do not believe there is a love at first sight, how could there be? I think SO MANY people get love and lust confused. Lust is "a strong natural sexual desire towards another person" and SO MANY STUPID PEOPLE get these two confused. true love is something that you feel inside out. Its that true feeling of knowing your meant to be with someone. I loved this :)
