to me, love is the one thing that keeps us healthy and gives us a reason to wake up each morning and love life.
love means listening, understanding or trying to understand, respect, dance, laugh, smile, music.
love is smiling for no reason in the middle of the day, its thinking of the person nonstop, its being excited to see the one you love or to go to work each day even if its been 25 years. love is wanting to make your loved one happy, to be faithful, loyal, to never do anything to hurt or disrespect them, be it a friend, a family memeber, or a bf/gf. love is crying when you see your baby start walking, when you see your baby say its frist words, when you see your children grow up and move out...love is being caring, protecting, not possessive, not jealous, not envious. love forgives, doesnt doubt. love is giving gifts for no reason, kisses on the forhead not just the lips, saying "i love you" and how much you care about them as many times as you can, calling to see if they got home alright. love is giving everything you have and making yourself vulnerable to being hurt but trusting your loved one not to do so. love is being best friends. love is being stupid together.
but then again, that's just what i think love is.
