What is Love?

by jay

Love is not ONE thing to all. i will try to explain what it is to me.

By way of a lead in....i met my Wife and three months later we were married...and that was over 25 years ago. i was in love with Her then and i am still in love with Her now.

In Spanish the word for the love between a man and woman is different to the word for the love between a child and a parent or between a brother and a sister. In the first case it is "Querer" in the second it is "Amar". So a lover will say to his/her partner "Tequiero" which interestingly literally means "I want you".

So to me love means i want your company, your laughter, your sadness, your smell, your shape, your eyes, your hair, your thoughts, your approval, your pleasure, your happiness, your safety, your excitement, your strength, your support, your wellbeing, your caresses, your orgasms.......

It is a "wanting" which merges giving and receiving in such a way that they become one and the same.
