What Is Love?


When we claim that it's love we have for someone, are we correct?
Something to ponder upon.....

*Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing and is your voice caught within your chest? It isn't love, it's like.

*You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right? It isn't love, it's lust.

*Are you proud, and eager to show them off? It isn't Love, it's luck.

*Do you want them because you know they're there? It isn't love, it's loneliness.

*Are you there because it's what everyone wants? It isn't love, it's loyalty.

*Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand? It isn't love, it's low confidence.

*Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't want to hurt them? It isn't love, it's pity.

*Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat? It isn't love, it's infatuation.

*Do you pardon their faults because you care about them? It isn't love, it's friendship.


*Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of? It isn't love, it's a LIE.

*Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake? It isn't love, it's charity.

*Does your heart ache and break when they're sad? Then it's love.

*Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong? Then it's love.

*Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts? Then it's love.

*Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you there? Then it's love.

*Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are? Then it's love

*Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret? Then it's love.

*Would you give them your heart, your life, your soul? Then it's love.

Hi guys, I did a survey long time ago, and the question was "How Do You Know You Love Someone?", here are the replies I got. Compare it with the above statements. How many really fit the category of love?

"I think that you know you "love" someone when you can't wait to see them. You're always happy when you are around them, and it makes you happy to see them. And you wish they were there when they're not."

"You know you love somebody when your willing to risk your life for them and put their feelings in front of yours. And when there's nothing that's too good for them and money wouldn't mean anything. When everything's just going wrong in your life, but as long as your close to them the world just seems to turn and you know everything's gonna be ok."

"I heard that love is when you feel strong emotions for a certain person and you feel safe and comfortable with them...I guess....lol. It's when something clicks in ur heart and you can feel that there's a strong connection between you two, ya know? It's like you can't stop thinking about 
them cause you need someone there to help you along the way. Cause you care about this person and willing to do anything for her (him)."


"Love is when you meet somebody, and you change. In one way or another something inside you shifts from one track or another. Love is the only emotion that changes you: anger, jealousy, insecurity; all of these are already in you, buried under whatever in different amounts. This change can be big, or it can be small depending on the love you have for a person. The simple test of love for me though, is whenever you see someone there is a smile on your face. What is better way to measure love than with the symbol of happiness- a smile." 

"You know you love someone when you can't go a day without talking to them, you trust them with your life, you're completely comfortable with them, and you always find yourself smiling when you are with them."
