Lorelili's definitions
Somebody that you love, and especially in the romantic/sexual sense. A sweetheart.
Warning: For every day of joy, there is one of woe, if you get my drift. The more you love someone, the more he makes you cry, or makes you crazy.
Still, those parts can be worked past. Lovers provide emotional support, shelter in a storm.
