Defining Love

How does one define love?

Love is an intense feeling of deep affection. It can also be a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. 

I think there are 3 types of love:

1. A romantic kind of love that you have for a boyfriend/girlfriend or a husband/wife. It's an unfathomable  passion that you can't explain. When your heart beats fast everytime they look at you. When you get butterflies everytime they kiss you. When you look into each other's eyes and you just know that you love each other even though you haven't said it yet. Especially when you want to express that love for them, other than the kisses and telling them you love them. That's when you want to make that sexual connection with them.  That's the most important part of a MARRIAGE.

2. A special kind of love between friends. It's a dispassionate, virtuous love. It expresses your loyalty to them. To let them know that you are always there for them no matter what. To let them know that they can tell you anything and everything without judgement or criticism. That they can trust you with anything and everything they say to you or do and you won't tell anybody unless it's something that will harm them. To love them no matter what they do or what they are going through. Just let them know you're always there whenever needed.

3. A type of love and affection expressed for parents and siblings or children. It is a natural affection that just comes with having a family. It is known to express mere acceptance or putting up with situations. Just to let them know that they are family and no matter how many times you hurt them or they hurt you, you will always love them. Like they say, you hurt the ones you love the most.
