Love is a good thing to have in ones life. It makes you happy. It gives you a reason to live. It makes your soul feel alive. To love is what we were put on earth to do. We humans are creatures of habit. If we care for someone it becomes a habit. We live longer when we are in love. God wants us to be with that special person as long as we can be. Love feels good. Can you remember your first love? It felt great didn't it? To kiss the other person for the first time, or to hold the other persons hand? The flutter in your heart, the turning of your stomach, it all felt wonderful didn't it? Why do we love? To repopulate the earth? Or is is something we need? People can live a lonely, long life and be happy, but are they complete, do they feel whole? Do people love to just to feel wanted? I think I have a pretty good idea of love, but love isn't something to take lightly. One can have there heart ripped out and never love again. Then again they can pick up the pieces and do it all over again. How? How can humans pick up what is broken and fix it again? Humans amaze me. They are so complex but still so simple.

"Can you remember your first love? It felt great didn't it?"
My first love left me heartbroken. What say you?
Actually, I'm starting to believe that love is more unnatural than sex.
hmmm, I wonder if this turned into a poem in your head or something.
Anyways. Love is something we use to survive, yes. But love is designed, for us to love everyone, but to love ourselves even more, and by truly loving ourselves, we automatically pour out love onto others. You don't need a relationship for that, it could be just as simple as saying hi to random people on the street or helping a person when they're down.
When you are ready to truly love yourself, you will be fit to love someone else, otherwise it's all false in the end, and would just be a waste of time...relationship wise.

I like your definition of love. When people think of "love," they tend to think of romantic love. Little do they realize you don't need to be romantically involved with someone to love him/her/it.

you've inspired me to write how i feel about love =]
thanks. and nice post
I like the way you look at it and I agree with you that love is far more than just a word someone can just say to someone else, there's a lot behind the history of what love is and it's refreshing to see someone else consider these things.
