In reply to Anyone. explain to me what you think love is....., posted by CtrlAlt n Del on May 6, 2002, at 12:15:30
Wish I could be brief but I'll try my best.
Love is caring, wanting to care, sharing, laughing together, crying together, dreaming together, working together, snuggling together, burping together, all sorts of doing things together, both saying the same thing at the same time, a look in a crowd that says everything (no words need to be exchanged), both oohing & aahing over shared joys.
But love is being comfortable & happy enough with each other not to have to do everything together, being happy while still alone & separate from that person. Love can make you one with another, but even alone, you still are one without them. You enjoy being with them but you don't NEED to be with them. Your life was complete before you met them & will be even if they do go (through death or whatever).
And love is putting their needs over your wants, & knowing for an absolute certainty, that they'll do the same for you.
All this is why I'm now alone & single. I was totally alone before, when I wasn't single. This feels far preferrable.
