I take it from this perspective ---

Imagine when that person is not around you and you feel like a part of you is missing, you

ache and yearn, you feel empty... you miss the laughter, the tears, the shared experiences,

the small things.... and of course that's only some of it....

If you understand the depth of:

LOVE... like a signal you call
Touching my body, my soul
Bring to me, you to meet me here
Home be the temple of your heart
Home be the body of your love
Just like holy water to my lips...

...then we share the same language too

Love is like your heart skipping a beat.
Love is a warm fuzzy tingly feeling.
Love is like drowning in wonderful emotions.
Love is playing naked anywhere.
Love is feeling like two hearts combined.
Love is feeling individual yet complete all in one>

Helpmysanity,Love can be a simple thing to understand or a very hard and confusing thing to understand, if there are issues present due to Abuse.Abuse of course can be Physical,Emotional,Sexual or just plain Neglect.
Our perception,understanding or lack of understanding of Love starts when we are Children.The foundation we recieve for Life originates from our Parent"s.
A Child who is loved by both Parent"s has a sense of worth and knows that they are a worthy and Loveable Person.This Child as an adult will have little trouble loving or being loved as an adult, due to the Strong Foundation he or She recieved from their Parent"s.
The Child who does not recieve that Strong foundation to start with feels unworthy and unloveable.A Child does not have the reasoning power ,at a young age to understand that his or her Parent"s may themselves have issues.When a Child feels or is unloved by one or both Parent"s,the Child automatically assumes it is their Fault!!!The Child takes on the Belief that if they are not loved, there must be something wrong with them.The Child then starts to carry Shame.The Child see"s themselves as something to be ashamed of.This Shame is then carried on into Adulthood.Many times, the Child rather then experience the terrible feeling of Shame,they hide it from themselves but none the less still carry it.This becomes hidden Shame and even though it is hidden, it still directs or steers the Persons life in many negative ways.
Help,when there are undealt with issues many things are due to confusion seen as love but are not.These things pretending to be Love may be Desperation,Neediness,Co-Dependency and others.
There are many things to watch for.For example a female Child who had an Abusive Father,will find herself gravitating to Abusers.Why?She is recreating her childhood.Why?Because she has a Sub-concious belief that is she recreates the scene from her Childhood that she gets another chance at it and this time she will get it right!!!Sadly though it never works and only adds more hurt to the original hurt!!!

im Assuming (never been inlove) it would have to feel like the love you have for your parents,
a love that would make you want to do anything for then to make them happy even if you arnt

Lust is when you wish to make love at every moment.

Love is when you wait for the perfect moment.

Love between two people without the input of God's word is very limited and is based on emotions, desires and feelings. As we grow up, we learn to love by watching others. We all believe we know how to express love but this is a human type of love, which is not stable like godly love.When giving human love we alter it to fit how we feel at the moment. Then we can't understand why our relationships don't work! Although we all have feelings and emotions linked to love, those attributes to human life are self-centered, stability in a relationship is difficult to establish between two people who base the love they give on their own personal emotions. There are no rules or even guidelines to follow so the standard of love they give is altered as they go through changes. These alterations can be measured in time anywhere from moments to years and the causes can be as diverse as environment changes, health issues or problems of any kind even if those problems are within their own personality such as anger or mood swings. Love revolve daily in a wide range, Everything from passion to hate, intimacy to revenge. Human love produces doubt or fear in the other person in relationship. When you give godly love to a person on a any level, such as a child, husband,boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, friend, neighbor or coworker, etc.,they can be sure assured that your love will be true. According to the type of relationship the two of you have. Most people feel a sense of safety, due to the love of God, in a firm religious book based relationship where even they have a set of rules to check if they desire. Satan has lost many of his best people because someone showed then the true love that god will put in the heart of a human being. Even if we, who try to follow God's way, make mistakes everyone affected by that mistake has an apportunity to adjust because of the stability that God has laid out for us in the religious book. A relationship with biblical rules teaches each person what's expected of them for the relationship to grow as well as how they should respond when problems accur. There are times people don't want a relationship because godly love brings them under conviction. But when they really need something they will humble themselves and go to the person they can get an honest answer from, someone who uses God's standard. There are four different types of earthly or human love. Love-
implies intense fondness or deep devotion. Affection- suggests warm, tender feelings, usually not as powerful or deep as those implied by love. Attachment- implies connection by ties of a affection ,attraction, devotion, etc. Infatuation-implies a foolish or unreasoning passion or affection, often a transient or not permanent. The main problem of developing a relationship based on emotion is when that person does something that is uncomfortable to the other, feelings in the relationship change. Two people can start a relationship with infatuation. Feelings can move that relationship up the list until it reaches love with total devotion, such as in a marriage. However, when there is no supernatural strength, coming from godly set of values or rules, feelings can change very easily. Our divorce rate in this country proves it many of today's relationship are based on selfishness or "what's in it for me, expecting the other to fulfill some inflated fantasy they have in their mind. People who don't know God's standard for giving and receiving love move in and out of relationships with standards provided by the sinful nature that has existed in the world since the fall of Adam and Eve. Godly love between two people is something that grows. Two people meet and are attracted to each other but it's only with dignity self-worth or honor and respect consideration for ones reputation, your own as well as the other person's that the relationship will be truly stable. God extends to us a different form of love than the lust we see so much today. It's a supernatural love that doesn't have the weakness that human love has. It's continual, stable and unconditional. It's righteous and honourable given with respect and integrity. Love that recieve from God is very special. It not only promises us an eternity living in his presence with all his glory and pleasures, but it allows the holy spirit, here on earth, to teach us and devinely guide us to think, speak and do what's right salvation brings to our lives security, comfort and many blessings, physically and materially as well as spiritually. It's those qualities that we recieved from God that we learn to share with others that make our earthly relationship valuable. There is also another side of perfect love. God is our heavenly father. He knows everything about everything and is able to correct us through he holy spirit. He is only interested in doing good to us so we will live a good life and then receive an eternity of peace and joy. Punishment us for those who love wicked but correction is for those who love him. As he speaks to our conscience and we obey we grow in godly knowledge and wisdom. His correction can come though people, preacher, teachers as well as anyone who is quoting
something correctly from God's word. When we are obedient to correction is produces God's earthly prosperity in every area of our lives correction, for our own safety and good is the highest form of love because the teacher truly cares.

Love is sitting beside your favourite man at a Jackson Browne concert.

Love is going shopping with him to buy him a red shirt.

Love is kissing him on the side of the road, getting caught by his daughter!

Love is talking for hours each day on the phone.

Love is making him watch Marci X when I know he has other things on his mind.

Love is waking up beside him and he is smiling at you.

Love is the tears that flow when you have to leave to go home.

Love is the massive emails I get from him when I get home because he is already missing me.

Love is seeing his smile and just melting.

Love is holding his hand and feeling really good.

Love is listening to his cd and thinking only of him.

Love is trust.

Love is forever.

Love is grand.

A lot has been written about the subject but I think the simple answer is: You know when it happens to you and you experience it yourself, directly and personally. If you have not loved and been loved, then you can't really know what love is.

Sounds bit like Lust but lasts longer

masses of emails, phone calls, sound like insecurity or too much time on someones hands.


For me love is having that mental connection
Love is not tangible as stated above its a feeling


when she knows when to get another beer without asking (i don't drink)

Love is , holding a conversation with no words, when your stomach turns over at the sight of him naked (in a nice way) after 30 years, Love is what won't go away even when you don't really like him any more. ( or maybe that's lust) Love is what makes us human.
