Love is an energy
that stretches far beyond the
vast outskirts of any universe known to man.
It is completely and totally uncontainable and indomitable.
Fills you with a blissful warmth that nothing can begin to compare.
Love is so much more than a kiss. It's more than a sweet secure embrace.
When the look in your eyes is all that is needed to know what the other is saying; In the dead of night reaching out across the distance and feeling them reaching back; Through a mere note you can see the smile on the face of your lover as if they were right there before you; It's feeling their warm breath upon your cool skin when rising at break of day.
Love is feeling their pain and sharing the tears they cry; Rejoicing in their happiness and supporting them each day; Knowing what words they'll say before they even speak. Love is so much more than candy, flowers or gifts. It's more than any words can even begin to express. Love is the quickening of your pulse when you hear your lovers voice; It's the dancing of both your souls in the midst of making love; It's when your mind can do nothing but wonder in constant circles with thoughts of them.
Love is more than a simple word that defines an emotion. It's comparing the beauty of your lover to a sunset and the sunset loses; It's spending all year long scrap booking the memories you've created; Taking the time to be a friend as well as a lover; Putting forth the effort to really know them completely; It's hating to say good night and loving to say good morning; Love is showing not saying; Words are meaningless without action. It's listening to the soul of your lover; And understanding the heart of your lover; Filling mutual desires; Releasing one another's passions; It's caring and sharing; It's learning and growing; It's binding, bonding and entwining; It's all about you feeling them and them feeling you; Knowing them and them knowing you; It's imperfections becoming cute lil quarks that you adore; It's overlooking faults and accepting them for them, as is.
Love is about wearing your heart on your sleeve; Taking a chance, a leap of faith, diving in and drowning in all ecstasy it holds; It's the many layers of two people melding into one, binding two heart, bonding two souls within a euphoric heaven; It's intimacy to the deepest reaches of your very core. It's an overwhelming intoxication of the heart and soul that goes way back beyond the dawn of time, before all the flowers, before the candy, and long before the gifts when things were simple.
When a mere glance said it all; When holding hands held deeper meaning;
When the heart was the most treasured of all gifts.
That is the true meaning of
LOVE

Glad you liked my definition of love.
I had to dig deep when asking myself this question.

Hmmm... I just had a profound insight on a primeval level... 'love' is merely another set of eyes to hunt with! Now as I read your piece, my mind flys off on such various daydreams... a sign of a truly great write here, Bel! Love is hating to say 'goodnight'... yes, I have felt this, even with friends here on AP... and the heart on the sleeve, who do we know who suffers from that affliction?
lol Very nice indeed... I would call this a mini-course in love, 'Love 101', toward getting a degree in Compassion and Caring... yes! Great write, Bel!

This is one of the most beautiful definitions of love that I have ever read. Completely heart-felt and so real. I'm blessed to say that I have love in the sense that you have described. I can only pray that others can be so blessed. Thank you for sharing!

I couldn't continue reading this because I was going to cry. I am a Senior in High School and have NEVER been kissed nor had a boyfriend. EVER. Anyway, the beginnin was wonderful and I am sure the rest of it is just as great!
