Ever wondered what Love is...?

What is love?

Is it something you can only truly find in one person?
Is there really someone out there made just for you and what are the chances of you finding him/her?

Why is it so hard to figure out?

These are all questions that we've all been asked before and want to know the answer.

'Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove. Oh no, it is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken.' Does that make any sense to you?

Personally, I think it's saying that love is something that lasts for ever and it's something that cannot be changed no matter through what ever difficulty or obstacle, or else it's not actually love.

Or, more likely, it means that love does not seek to change another person to one's own ideals, but accepts his/her love for who they are, as they are. Personal improvement is another story, but as far as personality changes go, I believe they remain unchanged and we accept because we love.

Love is not a fantasy or a feeling, it is as immortal as immaculate truth. Love is when you can say anything around the person and not feel embarrassed or weird. You never feel awkward but like you are always safe. It's like when a new born baby looks into its mother's eyes and lays all it's trust in her to take care of him and to raise him well. Am I still making sense?

My ex boyfriend once got down on his knees in the middle of one of our many fights and shouted, "I am nothing special, just a common man with common thoughts and I've lead a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten but in one respect, I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who has ever lived, I have loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, that has always been enough."

It's corny but it made me cry and then I knew that he really loved me, he said it before but something in my gut just told me that he really loved me.
Is love something that has to last forever? Or can we experience love in a matter of seconds, days, or months? If a relationship breaks down, does the feeling of love for that person ever leave you - at this point I am not so sure.

What about the love we feel for our family? The love for a family is supposed to be unconditional, something you are born with, but try and remember a time when a family member did something and you realised how much you loved them - think about that feeling, you weren't born with that - you learn that through experience.

No one will ever be able to explain what love is to you, and when you think that they do it right, you'll find out that their version is nothing else but a small piece of what it actually is, because there is no one on the face of the earth that can describe everything about love, there aren't enough words.


You'll find out what love is for yourself, even if you don't know what to expect, when it hits you, you'll know exactly what it is.

Here's a little something....

Here's a little something that I wrote, that I like to read when I need a little pick me up when things are being not so nice.

Hope you enjoy:


Lying on the cold table
Incomplete, Unfinished.
Tossed aside with frustration
Not to be thought about again.

Waiting on the dirty ground
Patiently, Faithfully.
Hoping to be seen,
To be touched, and bring satisfaction.

One day a connection will be made
And life will be complete.
With no missing pieces, but a perfect picture.
Along with a smile and a sigh of relief.

Until this day there will be more waiting,
Hoping, and Disappointment.
But in the end it will be worthwhile.
So take a deep breath and look around.


Just remember that anything is possible, with a little smile, dedication and most importantly BELIEF.
