I often wonder what love is. Though recently I have been thinking about it more often due to interesting circumstances. I'll try my best to describe what I think it is derived from my personal experiences.

LOVE

It's when you know someone. Not just as a friend or acquaintance, but when you know everything about them. All of their bad habits, quirks, fears, interests, and faults. Then you take all of that and just accept it. Take every skeleton in their closet and just hold on to them as if it belongs there with that person.

Its when a day goes by and the first thought on your mind is that person. Not in a sexual or demeaning way, but having conviction for that person.

Whether or not they are okay and smiling or hurting or sad or even frustrated, and no matter how they are feeling even if it is an ill feeling toward yourself you want to rush to them and make it better.

When it makes you sad not to be able to be near that person because they had to go away for the weekend or on a vacation with their family.

Its the smile when you see that person even though you just went to work and were only gone a few hours.

Its when they aren't happy, when they aren't happy and you let them go so they can find it even when you know you gave it your all.

Love... Love is true sacrifice for the sake of the other individual even when you don't receive it in return. Its the best and worst part of life and you do everything to make the worse parts easy for them. Its holding that person high above all else and being there to catch them if they fall...
Love is being a friend. Love is being honest. Love is being real. Its being unconditional for them even when its not for you.

Love is triumph and failure, glory and misery, and the ability to care more for another than you do yourself.

LOVE
