What is Love?

What is love? Strange question isn't it? When you reallyand honestly think about it, it isn't something that can be touched or felt, it isn't something you can see. But we all know it. So what is this thing that all of us have known? Some men die from loving and some women are broken by love. Romeo and Juliet show that love can be a curse, they show that love is endless and that if you really want love you should be prepared to do anything for it. So what is love?


Love is simply an emotion, A strong emotion, something that does not let go once it has you. Something unbearable but at the same time is uplifting, Something that is wonderful but at the same time you cant sleep. It's like it wraps around your heart and never lets go. Love can be a curse, a blessing or something that you never even relized is there. You love your Mum. So everyone has loved something or someone once in there life. You think you haven't, what about when you do something you enjoy and say "I love this." Simple love, but it is still 'love'. Isn't it? So everyone should be able to explain it. But for some reason this question is not always asked. This question is not always answered. What is this question, Simple... What is Love?


Love can be a curse, It can grab you and twist you around, it can take you years to relize that its even there. Men try to lie about loving something, Women, men, cooking. But there are times when love cannot work. Love cannot make you happy. Love only creates dread. And unhappiness. This is when you get handed the bad kind of love, Some people can't find straight love. It's like the straight forward love is never there. And they are left with the affairs, One night stands and other things. But not to say some people dont like this kind of love, Because some people prefer it. Some people go looking for it. And to them I wish them the best of luck. For I know that for me anyway, Love, true love is hard to find but ever so worth it. The bad kind of love would start if for example the one you love has love already in his/hers heart. Then love is a curse. Love can also be a blessing it can lift you up when you are an inch from the bottom. It can make your head spin and it can make you forget the whole world in just one kiss, or one walk down the street while you hold hands. Love is so diffrent. So in away love can be two faced. Is love true? Or is it trouble? Or is it just spread out in diffrent forms of itself. I love chocolate, I love my Mum, and I love my partner. but not all in the same way. (I also love some very nice looking celebs) Diffrent kinds of love though? So how can this all be the same? Doesnt really make sense does it? But we all except it anyway? We all love diffrent things in diffrent ways. We all Love.


Theres also the kind of love that makes many people get up in the morning and go to church. People love there god. So what would that mean, would it mean its a form of worship aswel? So in saying this, it becomes more confusing. So love is a puzzle. I think we are getting closer to what love is.


I typed the single word 'Love' into Google image and it came up with lots of cupid hearts and little cartoons of love. So love is also about couples. As everyone knows but how can we use the same word for when we love God and when we love our Grandmother? Did it not come across to anyone else that it might be a tad confusing? but until now I have never thought about it? If I say 'I love this book' in front of my partner he will say 'But I thought you loved me?' And even though he is joking he is also making a very good point? We love so many things but we say we will not cheat on out loved one. I then cheat on my other half several times a day! I had an affair with a book 'Pride and Prejudice!' Silly but also a good point?



Love is such a deep thing, it would take so many words to fully understand it. I dont know who fully understands it. Do I? No I only know a small fraction of it. To fully understand you would need to find true love and lose it. You would need to kill off love and treat it badly. And you would need to be hurt by love. Truly hurt by love. And so much more. Love does many diffrent things. So you would need to be all these things, But to have true love and to hurt love is to much for one person. But to love, to really love someone is worth all the pain in the world. But still you would not have suceeded the task, which is to understand love fully. All of it. It would take a lifetime to understand it. Just to hold a stranger and say you love his/her body, and then to hold your own child and say you Love them is a completely diffrent thing. How could anyone know all of love. As I said before it would take a lifetime. Maybe even more.


What is love? Love is a crime, a disese, a puzzle, a truth, a peace and a blessing. Love is the only thing that can be all these things. So love is two faced like some people. People make love. So why is love so confusing. Because love is People. And people are confusing. And again to know every single type of person would also take a lifetime. So love is alot like people. Love is what ever you want it to be though, and there are lots of diffrent people. So there are lots of diffrent kinds of love. Love between sisters, brothers, friends and pets.


So what is Love? Love is people, People are Diffrent...


So there really is no way of saying what is love, It's like saying what is the flavour of icecream. And that you cant answer because icecream can be lots of diffrent flavours. And love can have so many diffrent things to it. So what is Love, what it love.... Love is simple, love is Love. No matter what type, it will always still be Love.
