The definition of love

How do you define love? Or do you even believe in such a concept? And if you were to ask what love meant to a random face that passed you by on the streets, how much would their answer differ from your own?
Do you believe love is sudden and truly as magical for it to occur as quick as first sight? Or does it happen gradually, needing time to grow from a friendship to something more like a seed needs time to turn into something as magnificent and beautiful as a flower?
Would your definition of love involve fighting to win someones heart endlessly for as long as time permits? Or would it mean letting the person you love go down a path of happiness even when their ‘happily forever after’ does not include you?
To you, is love strong and important enough to overcome every obstacle life manages to throw at you? Or does it still need the support of money, looks, and the good life?
And as you try to find your definition of love, do you find yourself even more confused then you were when you started reading these very words as more questions seem to arise? Would know if you were in love the moment you felt it or is it something that has to hit you in the face over and over again before you realize that you are feeling something every soul on Earth yearns for? Is love meant for ‘the one’ that you were always meant to be with it, or could it just develop with anyone you feel compatible with? Does the person you love have to have similar interests as you, or is it true that opposites attract? Does love involve looks, or does it give you the ability to look pass a persons exterior and into their soul?
If you have continued reading these words that lay before your eyes, then you should of just realized how many different definitions of love their are. And you may even question how are you suppose to find something that you can’t completely or maybe at all understand. How is it possible to want and search for love so badly when it’s so undefinable and indescribable?
But maybe that’s what makes love so great…that to fully understand what it is…to fully appreciate this thing you searched all your life for…and to fully define it for yourself… you must feel it for yourself within your heart and soul.
So, how do you define love?
