Love is

[Misty_Morning]

Having your soul ripped to shreds when you realize that there may never be another opportunity to watch her sleeping while the sun comes up.

 

[feeeriek]

indefinable... yet we know when it is there or not

 

[SimpleGifts]

Best definition I heard, don't know the attribution...

Love is finding perfection in someone else's imperfections.

Hearing... not just listening

 

[slyc_willie]

Love is . . .

Three things:

Fidelity

Honesty

Communication

Without those three things, you have, at the most, lust and passion . . . but not love.

 

[Vermilion]

ETA: Maybe not so appropriate after all.

taking the pieces of you that are that person, wrapping them gently in a soft cloth and leaving those pieces for another to find..... softly whispering "I loved you... I promise I did.... now you are free to love another"

From On Love
by Kahlil Gibran

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

OK, I have to say, that just about killed me.

According to my then 8 year old nephew when he was asked what love is...

'love is when you can pee in the shower and no one yells at you'

I heard a baseball player here say that was supposed to be good for callouses (he actually said he did it in a radio interview ).

Love is......Missing her so much that the next two weeks is going to feel like two more months.

 

[Guest]

Knowing that you are loved by them... but needing the words just as much as they need you to physically show them that love is real

 

[LadyCibelle]

....accepting him even when he fails me.

 

[ChristopherMaxwell]

...when you see her and remember exactly why you loved her in the first place.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Love is incredible

 

[elsol]

Love is a smile making her happy.

 

[ChristopherMaxwell]

When you're always aware of her, even when you don't seem to be.

 

[ChristopherMaxwell]

Love is incredible

'tis true.

... the end of excuses.
