Somebody close to me said that Love to her, was made up of only three ingredients; Communication, Trust and Respect. Should Emotion not be an essential part of Love. We all have experienced love in its diffrent aspects in our lives. However, I need the inputs from the Greater Lush Community with all the "authority" of our most active inkslingers included as well. C'mon "Curves" this is your area of Expertise...

Love is everything and it is nothing. It is powerful and all consuming; yet it can be weak and fragile. Yes, it is communication, trust, respect but, it is also so very much more. Love is most definately emotion, it is an ever changing mix of all emotions. I could go on for hours and hours . . . .

Love is different to everyone. There is not one set standard that all of us must go by when it comes to love. What love means to one person, may not mean the same to the next. We are not told how to love, who to love, and where to find it. It just happens when we least expect it. Love is a combination of all things, all those you mention and more. It's a harmony that is built by the coming together of all things that two people have in life. When all the emotions, mental and physical, come together, true love is often something that cannot be broken.

If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind."

Love is relating, it is always a river, flowing, unending, Love knows no period, the honeymoon begins but never ends, it is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point, it is an ongoing phenomenon, Lovers end, love continues, it is a continuum

Love is when you can spend all day with that person, talking, laughing and still want to be together. It's when you can trust them with your life and always know that you will be ok. When you would rather not be doing anything in the world than just spending a little time together. At least thats what I say love is.

It's a most hodge-podgical, most illogical, most confusiling, most bamboozling, most bemuddling, most befuddling thing!

"One should always be in love" said Oscar Wilde, "That is the reason one should never marry."
The essence of love is transitory, but it is no less wonderful for all that. Possibly it's fleeting nature makes it even more precious each time you stumble upon it.

“No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.”

love is not being afraid to open yourself up to get hurt beyond your wildest imaginings.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Advanced Wordsmith
Love is senseless. It is something inside you that if questioned almost never makes sense yet always feels right. It does not have to be persuaded nor reminded. It is something you should never have to concede or barter. It should not derive from thought, though provoke thought it will. It is something we should never think, but feel.

I think Lois and Sprite nailed it. It is all the other things mentioned above, but most important, it is a willingness to overcome fear, and to allow yourself to be vulnerable.

To me a defining part of "Love" is unconditional sharing, giving, and trusting each other.
Active Ink Slinger
To me, "true love", is realizing that you are not whole without the other person.

All I know is that it is what it is. It's there and it ain't going away. I think the true definition must be somewhere in a country music song.

I am reminded of the old joke.
Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk (boot, for you guys who speak British) for two hours.
Who do you think is going to happy to see you when you open it up again?

You run out in the middle of a cold, slushy, hazardous sleet storm to purchase her a box of her special tampons and a bottle of Midol at a busy grocery or convenience store, paying for the purchase of those items, while thirty strangers grin knowingly.
You're either pussy whipped or, you're head over heels in love.
Or you just want some peace and quiet so you can watch your football game without the beast stalking you.

Clem,
It is also the most discombooberating thing as well... but I would have expected nothing less from you.

I have done this, and been hurt beyond my wildest imaginings. Love makes it worth doing.
