Love

Ok this is going to sound weak but my goal recently has been to try and pin down what love is and how it should make you feel. Then i came to realise that like greif its a completly unique emotion to each person. This realisation though wasn't enough. It didn't explain how you know when your in love, then i found this. I did not write this but i corrected spelling, editted it slightly and i think it's perfect.

ARE YOU IN LOVE?
SOMETHING TO PONDER UPON......

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

Q:-You cant't keep your eyes or hands off them, am i right?
A:-It isn't love, it's lust.

Q:-Are you proud, and eager to show them off?
A:-It isn't love, it's luck.

Q:-Do you want them because you know they are there?
A:-It isn't love, it's loneliness.

Q:-Are you there because it's what everyone wants?
A:-It isn't love, it's low confidence.

Q:-Are you there because they kissed you or held your hand?
A:-It isn't is love, its love confidence.

Q:-Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you dont want to hurt them?
A:-It isn't love, its pity.

Q:-Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?
A:-It isnt love, its infactuation.

Q:-Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
A:-It isnt love, it's friendship.

Q:-Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?
A:-It isn't love, its a lie.

Q:-Are you willing to give all of your favourite things for their sake?
A:-It isn't love, it's charity.

Non of these? Try this....


Q:-Does your heart ache and break when they are sad?
A:-Then it's love

Q:-Do you cry for their pain even when they're strong?
A:-Then it's love.

Q:-Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply that it hurts?
A:-Then its love.

Q:-Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you there?
A:-Then its love.

Q:-Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?
A:-Then its love.

Q:-Do you accept their faults becuse they 're a part of who they are?
A:-Then its love.

Q:-Would you allow them to leave you, not becuse they want to because they have to?
A:-Then its love.

Q:-Would you give them your heart , your life, your death?
A:-Then its love.

Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so.
Why do we love ?
Why is it all we search for in life ?
This pain, this agony ?
Why is it all we long for ?
This torture, this powerful death of self ?

Why?....

The answer is so simple because it's ......LOVE

I don't think you can properly describe love. It is extremely difficult to be able to describe an emotion, especially one that most do not even know what it is, nor do they believe exists.

Love cannot be proven. There was an intersting conversation on a film that I liked. Went along the lines of;
'Why don't you believe in God?'
'I don't believe in something that cannot be proved, I am a scientist after all'
'Do you love your parents?'
'Yeah, of course.'
'Prove it.'

the nature of love is such that it doesn't need proving.
