What is Love?

If it's because of her eyes or her lips or her great body, it's not love, its lust. If its because her intelligence and practicality and insights about life, its not love, its admiration. If its because she cries to you every time you try to leave, its not love, its pity. If its because she makes you forget to eat and sleep and study, its not love, its i n f a t u a t i o n. If its because she seems to be too weak to stand on her own, its not love, its concern. If its because she looks like your ex, its not love, its t r a n s f e r e n c e. If you can lay down your life for her, it's not love, its heroism. L0VE is when you don't know why you seem to be attracted to a certain person. L0VE is when you grow with that person but finding out that you are growing not as one but as two different people like the railroad tracks you see everyday --same destination but not one track, for then, the train would not be able to move."
