What is love?

Over the years, I have been asked numerous times "what is love?". I'm not sure if it's even the same for everyone. Every relationship is different, so is the love always the same? Anyways, enough about that. Here is my definition, well i guess it's more or less a description. To me, its the feeling you get when you're with the person. It feels as if a million butterflies found a new home within your stomach. You also can't help but to smile when you see their face. When you are in your lowest times, and feel as if you're lost and will never find your way back to reality. They come along, and miraculously pull you back and make you feel as if everything is going to be okay. Haha, and sometimes when you answer the phone, you are happy to be talking to the person on the other end. But at the same time there is a tiny ounce of sadness, because you were wishing it was them instead. Then, when you get into huge fights, to where you don't to speak to or even see them because you are so mad. At the end of the day, you still cannot picture your life without them in it. I think the best thing about love is, it's not selfish. Yes, the people in the relationship can be, but love it's self cannot. It's not for you, its for the other person. No matter how hard you try, you cannot make it happen. Even if you convince yourself it's real, you'll know deep down that it isn't. Then you fall out of love, and bad thing is, sometimes it can be one sided. It hurts to know that someone can feel all theses things for you, and there is nothing you can do about it. If you fake it, it's being selfish. Even though it feels like the right thing to do, it isn't. You could be stopping them from meeting someone that will feel the same things back. Also preventing yourself from finding a new love, that you can have all new experiences with.

Sorry I kind of rambled on, but I guess I will end this by saying.. Only you will know when you're truly in love.
