What Is Love?

by Lilium   Apr 14, 2006


Love is just a word.The word itself
has no meaning.Only four little letters I can hold in my palm and squeeze.
Anyone can say this word. I could say I love you to a stranger just as easily as I could say it to my boyfriend.
And love whether it be romantic or merely platonic, can come to anyone, anytime, anywhere. So what makes OUR love so special?

Some say love is not just a word, but a concept of undying passion and infatuation.
.......Don't these people know that the human brain can only hold infatuation for a few years?
After that it dies out.
Depressing yes?
And what I've learned whilst I've been in Love
Is it that I don't love the boy,
I love the feeling of caring, importance, infatuation, of feeling unique, and special, and knowing that to somebody your everything.

So is it love....
or addiction?

    Nice, it reminds me of the song below. Have heard it before:

    Love is a thing that I can't describe
    It sounds so foolish if I even try
    Love is an arrow and it points at you
    It tells you what you gotta do

    Love is a verb and a noun as well
    You find it in a dictionary under 'L'
    They give you a description, they spell it out
    But they don't say what it's all about

    Love is a fire that you can't control
    It burns in the middle and it leaves a hole
    You can't fill it up and you don't know when
    It's gonna start to burn again

    Love is a good way to lose a friend
    It's a two-faced liar that you can't defend
    Love is a virus that invades your heart
    It starts to take it all apart

    Love is a shape that you can't divide
    With an odd set of angles and uneven sides
    Your head is the paper and your heart's the pen
    Go and do the sum again
    Go and do the sum again
    Go and do the sum again
    Do the sum again

    Love is a verb and a noun as well
    You find it in the dictionary under 'L'
    Love is an arrow and it points at me
    It tells me how it's gonna be
    It tells me how it's gonna be
    It tells me how it's gonna be
    It tells me how it's gonna be
