Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.1 Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".2
Love is central to many religions, as in the Christian phrase, "God is love" or Agape in the Canonical gospels.3 Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection.4
In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, or the platonic love that defines friendship,5 to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.6 This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.7
Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.8

Get the Lovemug. by Nick cage April 12, 2013
Get the lovemug. its that single person your mind immediately turns to when listening to a love song, or a song of loss. Its that single person you want to share everything with and the only person you will ever want to. TRUE love is forever even if by life's inevitable curve balls you get hit and lose that relationship, the love will never come to loss.
love is a new you. Its not an emotion its an entity that literally transforms your being.
love is something that cannot be defined properly. it is not the many similarities of each person that create love, it is not the way they attract you or whether both person's goals and interests are the same.
love in the best words able, is a undefined entity that makes you feel overwhelming desire, passion, care, and need for that person, forever.
TRUE love doesn't happen through internet, phone calls, or the search through dating. it can never be explained fully and the initial happening cannot be placed.

Get the Lovemug. 
Get the lovemug. Love is when all you can think about is how to make him happy. How he can do anything and you can still find it in your heart to forgive him.
How I would do anything to make him smile or laugh.
How when he kisses me, the whole world stops.
Love is when you think that you have nothing left to give, but somehow, you can find just a little more to give him.
Love you forever and ever SPK. You're my heart always.
