Love

Although almost noone can agree on a single definition of love, most agree that it plays a significant role on their psychological well-being (Te Taha Hinengaro) and our Te Whare Tapa Whā.

Love is not an emotion nor a feeling, but a chemical reaction driven by extreme feelings of respect, euphoric attraction and willingness to put another's happiness and well-being above your own.

Love and lust have very similar characteristics, but unlike lust, love is long lasting.

Other definitions are mostlikely emotionally charged and bear no logical or rational reasoning. They have no correlation to the bigger picture; that is: love for family members or even pets, but are purely directed at one's partner.

However with your partner love can in some cases give you a lust-like feeling after years of being in a close relationship.

Love is so nebulous to many, even the famous band 'Foreigner' wrote a song titled "I want to know what love is".

Love, it just happens.

Love

A profound, tender, passionate affection. A spectacular, all-encompassing, euphoric, virtually indescribable feeling that leaves you breathless, and aching for more. The way someone looks into your eyes, and you know, without a doubt, that they are your soul-mate. The passion one feels for something or someone. A term of endearment for the person whom one feels this way towards. Not being able to escape thinking about this person, and incompletion, sadness, loss, and tears, without them in your life. The way you are willing to give up everything else just to spend one more second in their arms. You are willing to do anything to let them know how you feel about them, and your greatest wish is that they feel the same about you...because that would be perfection. The feeling you get while standing on a cliff above the ocean, underneath a kissing moon, and for the first time tasting the lips of the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. The way you feel when they hold you in their arms, and you realize that it is the only place you have ever wanted to be. Someone who can make you feel something that you have never before experienced in your entire life...a feeling that becomes like the air you breathe, and you will do anything to hold onto it. No matter what happens, this love remains. It is impossible to erase true love, because true love only happens one, and you never, ever, forget it. True love becomes a part of you, as does the person you felt it for. You will love them forever, no matter what.

Lacee: "I will love you forever, Tory. No matter what happens, you will always be my love."

Love

Something no one can hide from no matter where you go and what you do. There will always be that person who's supporting you through thick and thin. That person might be hard to find, but when you find him/him, it'll be all worth it.

I love him more than anything else in the world.
