Love

I think that I have written something like this before but Im not quite sure. Anywho, I was reading a blog that my cousin wrote and was inspired to write this.

What is love? Now when I looked up love in the dictionary (Webster online) they had 9 definitions of what love is:
 1 a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties (2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3) : affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests b : an assurance of love

2 : warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion
3 a : the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration b (1) : a beloved person : darling —often used as a term of endearment (2) British —used as an informal term of address
4 a : unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another: as (1) : the fatherly concern of God for humankind (2) : brotherly concern for others b : a person's adoration of God
5 : a god or personification of love
6 : an amorous episode : love affair
7 : the sexual embrace : copulation
8 : a score of zero (as in tennis)
9 capitalized Christian Science : god
— at love : holding one's opponent scoreless in tennis
— in love : inspired by affection

I guess no one really knows the definition of love.When I read some of these I was kind of puzzeled, and it just comes to show how loosley "love" can be used. I dont know about anyone else but saying that I love someone is not something that I take lightly. Some past events have played a big part in that, but when I say it I want it to mean something and not just because. When I love, I love hard. I put my all into it and expect it to be reciprocated. But it's just like she said, how do you know if one actually means it if they are saying it to? It's kind of hard for me to just believe it when they say it.. I look for it to be shown in actions. You can be so connected with someone and they still not feel the same way, I've learned that the hard way. But, I'm not letting my past keep me back, its in my past and thats where it will stay. However, it has taught me some valuable lessons, and I have taken what I've learned and applied it to my life.. I wish that I could find someone who I could  show that side of me to, but there is no rush cause I know that God will send them when he wants
