love is an indescribable feeling, one that makes u smile uncontrollably, a feeling that makes u cry whether of happiness or sadness! i feel it everyday when i see my hubby! he makes my world spin around and around!

love is a deep,tender,ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as arising from recognition of attractive qualities.

love is a transitory emotion that is also called infatuation. it flees the moment you get married. stay in love , dont get married.

Yes it is a funny answer and can be true but only if you let it and if you let the Love turn that way

mmmmm, Love is different for each and every person, i believe love is when you want to be with the person all the time when you get butterflies in your stomach everytime you think of them or see them, you hate it when your not with them, even for those few moments they are there you feel happier you have seen them, Sharing and being loyal is love and im sure there are many other things too. love for your parents, feeling you can go to them about anything and everything, having fun when your with them, caring for them and looking after them as they do for their children, being your best friend like you are to me mum love you loads xxxxxxxxxxx

Hey gabs!To me love is unconditional.Love is something you feel.Its strong.When you love someone you can't stop thinking about them.Love is God,family and friends.You have accepted those individuals for who they are and nomatter what you will love them.Love is when you are with your significant other and your face glows or when you are talking about him your face lights up and you're smiling!Love makes you have this special feeling towards the people you love.Its unexplainable but you definitely know when you love someone.

Love is strange Love is Life Love is jealousy Love is possessiveness Love is when you miss him all the time Love is when you want to share even the stupidiest of things Love is when you fight and cry for he is hurt. love is crazy love is when you feel the heaven holding his hand Love is hurts, pains and cries love is life.

Lovet o me is giving and shareing every thing with the one in your life. Like me with hubby. But then another kind of love you get from your pets the deep devotion the give you with no thought of it comeing back to them except a pat a kind word a scratch behind the ear. Wouldnt it be fun to do that with every one ya loved and they would appreciate it lol

Hi Gabs I feel fortunate that I can experience love. Not all of us are fortunate to feel love. I have come across people that dont know how to love and I feel so sorry for them. Love is great Love is happieness all the time. Constantly thinking of your love and hoping to see them soon. Love is laughter together. Never letting the other down. Im happy I can love.xx

Hiya Gabs! Hope all is well Sweet! Their are so many different ways that I have love. I have love for my family, which is different in how I love my friends. I love my dog which is different in how I love my husband obviously lol. And I love my hubby different then I love my daughter. The strongest loves that I do have though are for my husband and daughter. It is different of course, but I love them both the same. I would give my own life for either one, and they both mean the world to me. Hope this kind of answers your question.

To me, gabs, Love is that emotion which causes you to give and give and give of yourself-even when you thought you had nothing more to give.

If this were my very last moment, to take my very last breath, I would face you and say, "I love you." And I would mean it more then anything I have ever said before. If I could print an inscription that would summerize my life, it would read, "I am because of you." For when the world was failing me, you lifted me up. And when I faced up to the worst moments of my life, your arms surrounded me and sheltered me with an embrace that astounded me. You are my life, my light that leads me on. You are my strength, my courage to meet head on, things I could not face before. You are without a doubt, the substance that makes life worth living. And if tomorrow we should have to say, "Goodbye." Your love will carry me on and give me direction to go where ever I must. But the road will be longer and darker My steps will be small and uncertain. Because my life would be empty without you. For now, is the first time in my life, tht I know love. That is one way of explaining love. But there are so many different kinds of love, but to me true love in unconditional.

Love can be many things and mean many things to different people To me I have unconditional love to my kids..Love to watch them grow, learn from their mistakes and shape them into the adults they will one day become, protect them from something bad happening to them..You love them from the minute you find out you are going to have them! Love with my husband is give or take, When he needs me I need to be there for him, He loves me for who I am and accepts me faults and all...I accept him for faults and all...In love so much that you know and do not fear them walking out the door..They have shown you that they will not leave..Feel safe, warm, loved, blessed to be cuddled in his arms...When my husband is hurt I hurt For my friends I will always be there for them, when they hurt I hurt, never get upset if I get a call in the middle of the night because they need an understanding ear, know that I can count on them to return that, I can call them in the middle of the night, Have such a close love and respect for your friend that you can tell just by the tone of their voice that something is bothering them.. I'm not that good at explanations hehe there is probably alot more I could add but am really tired and not thinking too good hehe hugzzz gabs

Love is many things to many different people. I guess you could say it's a deep feeling or intense emotional affection for a person or a thing. One can love family members but love each individual in a different way for different reasons, which is not to say love is conditional, it's just that everyone is different. Srtrong affection that is sentimental can be felt towards objects...this is love too. Pets are very loved by their owners and families. Every different aspect of love I think about just opens a different door to show another aspect of love...I believe it's what keeps us alive and whole, wether we have it or are on a journey to discover it., To me it's a religion and my reason for being is to journey and experience love, both giving and receiving. My journey will culminate with my understanding of what true love really is all about.

Love is a precious gift you feel it and sometimes it overwhelms you1 Love is precious and it is a special gift it can turn you upside down changing your whole life, When i met my then boyfriend now hubby, when he kissed me the earth really did move for me and i knew he was the one for me. The love i feel for my children makes me want to hold on to them forever.I do believe god is the purest form of love all forgiving and there when i need him. If you have no love for anyone your life is never complete you are only living half a life be kind to every living creature

For s/o : When you're in love it's like you spirit is light as a feather. Your heart pounds when you see the one you love or hear their voice. When they can't be with you, your whole body aches for the need to be near them. It's like a never extinguished light that shines down to light your path, and warms every part of your being. It often feels as though that person is the other half of your heart, and without them you would surely die. Family and Friends: The love for friends and family is one of protection and the need to keep them safe from harm. To help guide them through life, and be there for when they need you. To be supportive even when you don't approve. To love unconditionally.

Hi!LOVE has different meanings for different people.To me, there may be various ways of showing love but it is actually a feeling which will drive you to do anything you want.Appreciation,rewards,sacrifice,or even scolding can express love.For eg..If a mother is scolding the child for doing something wrong, it is because she loves the child & wants him to be the BEST.2 close friends want to buy the same painting, but one sacrifices for the other to have it.So LOVE canbe inthe form of anything, only one should be able to see it. GOD BLESS!! www.creatingcolourfulfuture.com
