When you are in love, you feel warm and fuzzy all over, just thinking of that special someone. You can't wait until you get to see him again. You dream of him even when you are awake. You feel his touch even when he is not touching you. You hear his voice even when he is not talking to you. You see him even when he is not with you.. That to me, is what love is all about.

When two people are in love, they care, respect, empathise, share. Love is a blessing. It comes unexpectedly, and when love comes knocking at your door, let it in and treat it well or else you'll lose it. Love takes two to work; only then, love is mutual and natural. Ordinary friends, over time, could be lovers, given the right conditions. Love is not just tactile (touch), but also affective (emotion). Like what you've mentioned, you don't have to touch to feel love because it just comes to you - ready or not. Someone once said: "A marriage binds two souls, but it takes the INTIMACY of the PUREST of friendship to seal two hearts close together…" - to me, that intimacy is love.

To add, love promotes mutual respect, trust and gives you space when you badly need it. And at the end of the day a HUG and a KISS are lovely gestures to close the day of two persons so in loved.

what is love? it is one of the most difficult question for mankind. centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. but no one can give the proper definition of love. to some love is friendship set on fire for others. maybe love is like luck. you have to go all the way to find it. no matter how do you define it or feel it, love is eternal truth in history of mankind. love is patient, love is kind. it has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it never proud. it rejoices over the evil and is truth seeker. love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. always stand steadfast in love, not fall into it. it is like the dream of your matter of affection coming true. love can occur between two or more individuals. it bonds them and connects them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. it enc hence the relationship between mother and a child. the mothers loves the child unconditionally and it can not be attained between any relationship with magic of love. love can can be created. you just need focus on the goodness of other. if this can done easily, then you can also love easily. and remember we all have positive aspect in us, no matter how bad our deeds may. and god said *love all*

love is the greatest surprise in life. It is a feeling that brings out the best in you, it is the feeling that makes one happy, thrilled, ranging from pleasure, to attachment and intense physical attraction, and sometimes it brings us pain. In other words, love is a mixture of feelings that no one can define. They say it is hard to compare with other emotions. But if ever you feel pain in the process of being in love, don't let it destroy the joys of life. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come.

Love is like a rosebud, you don't force it to open but you wait for it until it blooms! When you're in love no need to rush. Enjoy the process even how hard it may be. You will never appreciate anything that you did not work hard on it. The thorns enhances the beauty and uniqueness of the rose-- no rush you'll be hurt, be gentle and have the patience to wait and explore the rose to finally experience its beauty and fragrance.
