Love, what's it all,about? (For long term couples)

We’re more like friendly enough acquaintances here so I’ve learned what love was to me more by seeing what it isn’t. It should be a positive thing. You hold each other up rather than knocking each other down. You should be partners, a team. You should enjoy each other, be interested in each other, feel happier to see each other come than go (at least most often lol). I see it like a deep pool. No matter what ripples the surface, beneath it is steadfast and calm. When I was young, the concept had more of a cinderella feel and I didn’t really try to define it - I was just desperate for it and believed it was always real without a second thought. I appreciate it more now as the gem it is. I’m not sure I ever would have learned to had circumstances been different.
