WHAT IS LOVE?

One of the most archaic questions. Nevertheless, it is one we repeatedly ask, tirelessly. I come to a conclusion that it differs for everyone. There is no standard answer. How we perceive love is usually defined by how we see life and the many experiences it entails. How do I define love?

Love is when you don't need to be with that person. Rather, you want to be with him.

Love is when you wake up in the morning and the thought of him makes you smile.

Love is when you wake up in the morning and his smile brightens up your day.

Love is not conditional.

Love is without reservation.

Love is about patience and wisdom in times of hardship.

Love is rejoicing all his greatness and accepting all his weaknesses.

Love is the willingness to put his happiness above your own.

Love is humility.

Love is the courage to let him go and find his true self.

Love is having faith in him.

Love is to be by his side, to be his backbone, always.

Love is to know that you want to be with him for the rest of your life.

Love is to know that you can give your heart to him, fearlessly.

The image of you sitting in the living room, gazing far into time and space crosses my mind. I know you're only gone for a day. But I'm already counting hours till you come home.
