Bah! WTF is this? 50/50 love and hate, not putting in the effort... blah blah blah! It's quite simple.... Remove the sepia out dated MOVIE of what you think love is, it got bad ratings, and was a flop! And try looking at how others love... the mother for her child... the doctor for her patient... the baker with his bread... the gardener with his plants... the farmer with his dog.... That's LOVE... unselfish, freely given, with absolutely NO EXPECTATION of it being reciprocated... Love is GIVING. and until you earn it, learn it and be it, you won't have a f*ckin clue what I am on about. I havent found anyone that is willing to give yet, someone who is willing to give as much as they receive is something thats rare in this world, not for a Mother and Child or something like that but between 2 people ,as In Husband and Wife, I know how to love someone ,but never got it in return though. Matt... your very simple statement said it all... you are looking for a person who will give to you... which means you are TAKING... no expectations... means just that... Love isn't a commodity... there is no marketing strategy that one can use, there is no public shares one can purchase.. Mostimes in life we bungle around completely oblivious to whom may love us... for simply being us... that is LOVE... a given, without a demand for receipt. Love is a give take situation, but I see what your saying though, I would gladly give my love to someone for nothing in return ,what I meant by that statement was, I would love someone ,I just want the same love and support in return. Otherwise, why be in a relationship to start with? I dont want anything Extrordinary out of anyone, just to know they care too, whcih I have never found. You asked what the definition of love was to "you"....... Love does not require an active "relationship" What you are looking for is romance, lust, desire, passion, etc. The list goes on........but those things do not make up "love". If it can be explained by any other definition it is not love, imo. I've posted this in a poetry thread, but it fits ur topic, and is the expression of what I think "love" is. It is something that you can have for a perfect stranger AND the one you share your bed with. It is not what makes you want to have sex with someone....... It is not what makes you want to spend the rest of your life with someone...... You can indeed love someone and never desire to talk to them again........anyhoo: True Love Written by: Plainome So close… Yet so far… Elusive to my touch. I want to reach out and take it To pull it to my chest… And never let go. Why can’t I grasp it? Why can’t I take hold? So fragile… Yet so strong. It drives grown men to their knees. Most would give anything To feel it just once… To have a glimpse. Why can’t I grasp it? Why can’t I take hold? What must I do? Where must I go? Who must I meet To make this dream a reality? Finally, it become clear… I can do nothing…. There is no where I can go… There is no one person I can meet. For it must start in me. True Love is something That in order to experience… Must be shared. One can not own it, It goes where it will. No one can grasp it, And lay claim. True love must be a gift… Given without care… Of whether it will come back… Of if it will return. Why can’t I grasp it? Why can’t I take hold? Why can’t I pull it into my chest And never let go? (Because if I did, it wouldn’t be love.) Very nice, I agree with all of that =)

Love is when you look into the eyes before you and everything you ever wanted is there for you to see.

Interesting thread.... Been thinking a lot about the subject. To me Love is a living thing that wells up when two people actually gift themselves by giving up themself just enough that the other doesn't feel taken but not so much that they are lost in the gift. Real love takes work but it feels like play. Real love can last beyond life but it goes to a place that eventually relinguishes it to bloom somewhere else. Real love is not about competition but companionship, honor, and self respect. Real love is the flavor we taste when the meal is long gone, the dishes are done, and the hunger returns. Real love is a satisfaction that whatever you are facing it is somehow better together than apart. Real love is not a thing, or a place, not the past, or the future, it is the decision to love now. Sorry I hope this doesn't post twice the computer hiccuped.
