Those things called love...

Love... what is love? If we are going to define love, I believe each individual might come out differently. A (1): strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties (2): attraction based on sexual desire: affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3): affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests b: an assurance of love . That is the definition of love according to Merriam Webster’s online dictionary. Attraction based on sexual desire? Can you call that love? If yes, then what’s the different with lust?

There is love for everyone (at least that’s what I believe). The simplest shape of love is when you care about something and of course you don’t want anything bad happen with that “thing”. Is it going to stop until there? You’re the one who knows the answer. I just read my friend’s friendster blog about love. She wrote that nobody can ever reach the “forever love”. Forever means no end. Will someone loves their other half like that? Even the marriage vow is “till death do us part” not “I will be your husband/wife forever”. But can I say “I love you forever” to the one that I love so much? How long is forever to me? Do I have to define it by time or by how much I love him?

How can I promise him forever when I don’t even know what will happen on another seconds, hours, days or even years from now?

My favorite term from my friend’s blog is to love a person with a full heart, one must love themselves first and I agree with her that I’m still learning about it. I’ve been through a lot to be in love with him. I would never regret all of that. Cause I’m learning to love myself and to love him with all my heart. All I know is that when you’re in love with someone you don’t need to know for how long, how much, how big, etc. you only need to know that he/she is happy (and hopefully loves you back). At least that’s the important thing for me. There are lots of question about love, those that can be answered and cannot.

I love you… (you know who “you” are)
