Formerly: Love is just a word I've heard when things are being said. Stories my poor head has told me.... In between what might have been and what has come to pass. (Courtesy of James Taylor).

Presently: Friendship on fire. In a room full of oxygen. (Author unknown. I threw in the oxygen part, just as a kicker).

Love to me was doing my job ,providing ,protecting ,love making ,time for the one
Now I see it as an emoting I have for someone ,but they may not feel the same about me ,forgiving even though I am the one wronged .
Giving even if I never get to receive
Sacrifice that may never be appreciated
Being there even if the only time I am needed is when no one else can do the job ,and once the job is done ,I seem to be forgotten again
this is a deep subject to me ,,I hate I don't have the accurate words
so I use the one others use ,unconditional
The Bibles explanation is my standard ,though I know I don't match that ,
I can keep on trying

[c=#7700B2]Disney movies ruined my expectations of love.. the bar was set incredibly high[/c]

Love for me had not changed much since that first time so long ago. It is the loss and the death of love that was much more of a challenge and painful, learning experience.

I thought of it as a wild fire before; intense and consuming...But these days I think it's more of a constant flame that endures wind, rain and darkness.

I thought it was some kind of fairy tale thing and that it wasn't [i]real[/i], but then I actually experienced it for myself and found out that while it certainly was no fairy tale and wasn't all sunshine and rainbows it was very real. I think over my various romantic experiences I've come to know what love is fairly well.

Kissing and holding hands and lots of talking. Lol

Food <3 it hasn't changed much since

i knew that it was staying together because you loved each other and that's where children came from at the age of 6

I was quite young when I realised that you should find one and be with that person. I have respect for love like nothing else. I don't even like wife jokes one bit.


I still believe in each and every one of above mentioned things. 😊

I thought love had to be intense and passionate to be real, I realize now that loves often comes in the form of gentle kindness

It took me forever to realise what love was all about

I came to realize what true love was when I had my child.

I don't think I really thought too much about it, I was naive and expected every relationship to lead to marriage 🙄

Now, it's about respect, companionship, having that one person that knows you and still is with you in spite of all your flaws, for better or for worse.

I wasnt sure what it was and im still not sure what it is
