Look for the word love on google and what you see are phrases, definitions, and personal thoughts that pop up many and discrete in screeds. 

Love is friendship set on fire. Love moves in mysterious ways. Love is care. Love is trust-- definitions too accustomed and never-ending.

From personal experiences to what others have lived through, we might already have worked out for our own designation of it, set bounds to.

But for all of you who are confused, probably haven’t come up with your own idea of it, or had yet unsure, here are some concepts that may help you either learn what it is, what it is not, and what it is supposed to be.

 Some points to ponder:

·         Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing and is your voice caught within your chest?
                  
                -It isn’t love, it’s LIKE.



·         You can’t keep your eyes or hands off of


them, am I right??

               -It isn’t love, it’s LUST.

·         Are you proud, and eager to show them off??

               -It isn’t love, it’s LUCK.



·         Do you want them because you know they’re


there??

               -It isn’t love, it’s LONELINESS.



·         Are you there because it’s what everyone


wants??

               -It isn’t love, it’S LOYALTY.



·         Are you there because they kissed you, or


held your hand??
       
               -It isn’t love, it’s LOW CONFIDENCE.



·         Do you stay for their confessions of love,


because you don’t want to hurt them??

               -It isn’t love, it’s PITY.

·         Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat??

               -It isn’t love, it’s INFATUATION.



·         Do you pardon their faults because you care about them??

              -It isn’t love, it’s FRIENDSHIP.



·         Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of??

              -It isn’t love, it’s a LIE.



·         Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake??

              -It isn’t love, it’s CHARITY.

            But,



      ♥    Does your heart ache and break when they’re sad??

              -Then it’s LOVE.



      ♥    Do you cry for their pain, even when they’re strong??

              -Then it’s LOVE.



      ♥    Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts??

               -Then it’s LOVE.

      ♥    Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and hold you there?? 
                     
               -Then it’s LOVE.



      ♥    Do you accept their faults because they’re part of who they are??

                -Then it’s LOVE.



      ♥    Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret??

                -Then it’s LOVE.



      ♥   Would you give them your heart, your life, your death??

                -Then it’s LOVE.

“Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so, why do we love? Why is it all we search for in life? This pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for? This torture, this powerful death of self? Why? The answer is so simple cause it’s…LOVE”
