Hello my dear. 5 years ago my partner and me decided to engage. Well short after that I had terrible accident, which left me disable. When doctor said that probably my leg will be amputated I've seen my partner crying. Physotherapy allowed to save my leg but I have problem with walking. My partner did not left me. He was with me all the time no matter what. I knew that he was so scared but we faced problems together. I think this is love. When you stay will your partner no matter how sick this person can be. This is sharing hope together and dreams. All those experiences made our relationship stronger. No matter what future will bring I know that I can count on my future husband

I see her standing there in my mind. Weak, a young girl, innocent with life ahead of her. Her pretty face is all I can see as I plunge ahead. I know my words will not be heard any longer, for they are in my thoughts but my eyes tell the story as this ugly bomb rips open my body. I might cry out but I will do this bravely. I will do this for my daughter. I will not give up. I will die for her because I love her. I love her.

I was thinking of the meaning of love that says "to give your life for another is the greatest gift". I think this can happen like above where a soldier went off to war to give the weaker one a gift of freedom and security but it also extends to fathers and mothers that work hard everyday to see their children safe, happy and healthy. I think it applies to couples too that stick through all the hard times and not just for an agenda or good time. Sure, there are many kinds of love, loving, lovers and expression of it but one image of love that always comes to my mind is that of the love my mom and dad had.

"Love is when you have been saying goodbye for so long and yet you're still not leaving...."

As far as I concerned love(real) is divine. Everybody cannot love and to be loved. The definition of love is differ from person to person. I don't know how to define it even if i am loved by somebody. I think love is the gift of God.

Love is when you meet someone who treats you in a way that makes you feel as though you have love. Then you close your eyes, pretend this person is perfect and holy divine, get married, find out he or she, is not holy divine or perfect, have fights and arguments until you decide to divorce. Then you repeat the entire process with the next person who treats you in a way that makes you feel as though you are loved.

I think that there are many different kinds of love that people can have in their lives. With that said, a romantic love is one where the other person in the relationship is the half that makes you feel like you are a whole person. You work together to achieve goals that you have in your lives. However, this is a kind of love than can be fractured. There is also family love and that is a kind of love that will be with you for the rest of your life.

Hi Dassodils: So many definitions come to my mind when you ask me this question: Love is a state of grace love is the energy of my life Love is the reason of our happiness Love could be the best gift you could give to someone Love is hope for this world. And the list could go on.. We can find love in the things we do, our dreams, people around us. And there's always a different way to see and define love. ALVARO

There are different ways to define or express our love with someone. I guess you may know already the meaning of giving love to your parents and siblings. I guess they are almost the same in some aspects but we have different ways to show or express it to them, like doing all you can to make them happy. With regards to loving someone other them, it's a different story. When you love someone, you do all your best to make him happy even to the extent of breaking what you believe in. You make sacrifices for your love.

LOVE is an interest, affection, or value, to someone else, living or a none-living things. I think LOVE and LIKE differs.

For me love is God. Yes, I agree that people have different perception of love but for me I have defined love as God because He embodies true love and that is being selfless. In my 40 years here on earth, I am so blessed to be able to experience God's love through my parents and siblings. I have a doting father who never fails to play with us and a mother who cares and loves us unconditionally. I have made decisions in my life that they don't approve of but they still remain at my side loving and supporting me. They are there for me through thick and thin. This only shows how much they love me. This kind of love is like the God's love to us, He is patient and kind and willing to embrace us and forgive us.

Love is a feeling that you can not physically express but emotionally feel. This how you know what love is there is Manu different kind of loves out there. The great love a really deep live is a live for your own child. That is an instead love that is so beyond words that only other peole that have children understand the love you have for this little person that you wait 40 weeks to meet and you love them eventhough you don't know them.

Love is the one which cannot be expressed in words. It is the the one which can be expressed between each other. I think no one can define it and if any one does it it varies from one to one.

I can not define love. Love makes me very confused. Love is too complicated to explain. Because, love brings different impacts.

Love to me is , give everything that you have to your loved one and never expect anything from your loved ones. I always give my full to the people I love and I never expect that they will do something for me. This is something that I have learnt so far in my relationship. That is the definition of pure love in my opinion.

Hi dear, You come up with a nice topic with wide meaning, where someone can condlude with a single word to a sentenace and can even write 1000s of books with the same word. All I need to say is that the intensity is purely depend on our minds and where it is getting applied. I think you understand what I mean. It is like pure gold and whereever we keep, it will not get rust or ruined. It has the meaning beyond words and that is why poets and writers cannot stop wiring about it. Shakespear has written to the best and never still happy. Love towards a child from the mother, a love of a girl to a man, the same towards the wife or husband, love to a friend, you to your friends, me to my siglings and all and all are differently measure with its variety of intensity and magnitude. We have to define it in the way how we handle it. If it matches with the perfect to a perfect, the essence is beyound words and if which is NOT handled with care, there nothing so ugly and bad. So, all it depend on how we handle the situation and love is like the clay, from which we can mould God as well as Demon. Best regards, Thank-s

Definition of love -- this will depend on the age of the people --for me -- now at 60+ it is only people who care about me and talk nicely to me. For you youngster LOVE will certainly mean their beauty, physique etc.
