My thoughts of the last few days and weeks have been "What really is Love?" How do you really define it. Is it a feeling you have when you are around a particular person? Or is it something else entirely? Is everyone's definition of Love different? If you have to ask "Am I in Love?" does that mean that you aren't? Over the last 25 years of my life I've often wondered about it. When I had asked my mother as a child she always said, "You'll know when you're in Love." How?? How does it work? What are the guide lines for it? Is there a manual? WHERE CAN I GET ONE? Love is not a word to use lightly with someone. It's not right to tell someone you love them if you don't. Neither is it right to NOT tell someone you Love them if you really do. There are many different faces of Love. Love between parent and child. Love between friends. Love from family member to family member. Love between a man and a woman. I understand love between friends and between family members. My question is about between a man and a woman. Could Love be as simple as feeling comfortable and protected around a person? I'm not sure if asking someone this question would really answer it. Maybe my idea of Love is different. I'm not sure and wonder if I'll ever get my answer.
