What is Love?
Love, to me, is a very mysterious thing. It does make the world go round and all that, but it's so much more than that. Love entails loving someone unconditionally - despite physical appearances, a person's weaknesses or material possessions. It entails loving someone for who they are not what they can become. It's about knowing and accepting the person's weaknesses and yet loving them for it. It's about understanding the other person's passions, beliefs and values and being excited with them about it, even though they may not be the same as yours.Love is not about selfish desires - what I can get out of that person but rather what I can give. True love prevails despite the circumstances because each knows how much they mean to each other and how no one else in the world can replace what they have. Love is having faith even when things do not seem too promising, but knowing that it is worth it. Love is telling someone how much you appreciate and love them as often as you can.
There are many who have been in several relationships and yet, never understand what love really is. It is not just about champagne, roses, dinners and expensive gifts. It is so much more than that and it definitely is very hard to love unconditionally but never impossible. Perhaps the best definition of love is:
"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails..." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Please don't tell anyone u love them until you truly understand what love really is.

I certainly agree with the definition of LOVE as suggested in this blog. In addition, I would like to share that:
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all. ~Samuel Butler
I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart. ~Alice Walker
Well, I guess it's all parts & parcels of our lives, and it's through these that we learn to be wiser right? *wink* Hope this helps to make you feel better :)
May I add...
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends."
- John 15:13
what you say is ain't love ... thank you
