What is Love?

What is love?

You might hear this too often, but love is a strong
word. Everyone desires love and the feeling it gives you. Love is
absolutely and unexplainably perfect and it has a huge effect on you.
Love is a part of your happiness, personality, and life. Having
someone to love and feel loved in return is the best feeling ever.
Loving a significant other is much more than saying, “I love you”; it
is who you think about 24/7, who you will sing to even if you are a
horrible singer, who you will share food with because no one likes to
share food, who you get annoyed of but cannot get enough of, who you
would give your jacket to when it is freezing out, who you would give
your umbrella to when they forgot theirs, who loves their quirky
habits and who you still think is the most beautiful person after they
wake up in the morning; loving someone is so much more than anything
you could expect.
Love is a very broad term that can be explained in many ways. You
experience a feeling you will cherish forever and never want to let
go. If it feels right, then it just feels right. No matter how long
you have been together, your heart still skips a beat seeing them,
they are your best friend, and you never want to leave their side.
They are the other half that completes you, because without them, you
feel out of place or not yourself. I am not saying loving someone else
defines who you are but the person definitely becomes a part of your
daily routine. Being in love with someone is wanting to start a life
with one another, show them off to your family, being able to wake up
every morning to their beautiful face. Love is knowing that you can
give your all to someone and they would return the love back.
No one can define what love is but yourself and how you want to
perceive love. Everyone wants different things in a relationship but
when the time is right, love is the most magnificent feeling ever.
Whether your love is with the opposite sex or same sex, love has no
gender. Being in love is to be comfortable with whom you are and live
the world you want to live, but with someone you love by your side
throughout the journey.
