I think love is when you would do anything for that special person. You aren't focused on anyone else. Its when you have that person through thick and thin and they listen and pay attention to you.

It's a little difficult to explain love...you just really have to feel it you cannot explain it.

Love is a feeling, a type of sensation. It will be different from all those other times you thought you were in love.

It's something that you can't explain, but you'll know it and feel it when it happens.

If I look back on past people, I can't say I loved them. They were crushes. Some more severe than others. One which will always hold a tiny place in me.
If I look at my person now, I can say that I love him. I can't say I'm in love with him so to speak, but that's because we can't truly be and I'm not allowing myself to go there. But I do love him. He has helped me more than he will ever know and he will always always hold a special place in my heart.

Webster's-
love: noun 1) strong affection 2) warm attachment 3) attraction based on sexual desire 4) a beloved person 5) unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for others 6) a score of zero in tennis

love: verb 1) cherish 2) to feel a passion, devotion, or tenderness 3) caress 4) to take pleasure in

Hmmm... it would seem to mean a lot of different things. The ancient Greeks knew this and had different words for the different degrees of love (I don't think they played tennis, though). I think different people have different ideas as to what constitutes love... and for a relationship to work, you just have to find someone with a similar outlook.

I've heard love described as a point when you care more about the other person than yourself.
Not sure if I fully agree, but...

Robert Heinlen wrote that love is when your happiness depends on the happiness of someone else.

Would u run into a burning building if the person u loved just might be in it . The building was in flames and smoke bellowing out .
If u would run in to what might be your death for a person who may or maynot be in there you are in love.

like oberon said, there are varying degrees of love. i love my friends; they are great people and i enjoy their company. i loved my ex. I would have done anything for her, i cared more about her happiness than i did my own. i love my parents. i am grateful that i had such wonderful people to raise me. i love spaghetti. it tastes great. so many different possibilities.

the love i am currently searching for is a love shared between myself and a significant other that radiates and reflects off of each of us, surrounding us in it's glow. maybe that's too idealistic, but i'd like to hope it's possible. till then i'm satisfied with great friends, particularly a beautiful young lady who's been much closer to me lately
