Love.

I was watching sesame street with my little cousin...
Grover & Rosita had to define love in 15 seconds. I was thinking on it, and i thought about love myself. Love is way too deep to define in 15 seconds, or even 15 days. Words can't describe it. Maybe it's just a pull to one person, stronger than lust. The fact that you see the inside of a person, and not just the outside. You can see every fault, but you don't care. All that matters to you is the great things about the person. Sure, looks are nice, but in the long run, does it really matter? What does matter is the fact that you feel your eyes light up when you see that special person, and their lips curl into a smile at the sight of you. Maybe the two people that love each other are claiming they're just friends, when really, they both want to be more. Maybe you need to hide, and find out if you really love someone if they pull you out. Love is more than that warm and fuzzy feeling. Maybe, just maybe, love is talking to your "just friend", and when you both have to go your separate ways, you whisper "i love you" quiet enough for just you to hear, but you swear that you heard the "just friend" say "i love you" too. When the 15 seconds where just about over, Rosita pulled Grover into a hug and kissed his cheek. I watched my cousins eyes light up. Maybe love is only detected by everyone else around. Maybe, just maybe, it takes an outside force to put love into motion. And maybe, just maybe, if you were thinking about one person this whole time reading this, then...
you're in love too.

This was from a website. I do not remember which one or where. All I remember is when I started reading this, I did think of one person. He's very special to me. Now, most of the people that know me would guess on someone I'm very close to but they would be wrong. I'm not in love. I'm just always happy when I talk to him and can be myself. I don't have to hide anything and I appreciate him so very much.

Understanding and compassion are probably the most important values in a relationship. Love is not one thing, but many things combined. When you say "I love you" to someone, it says so much more than the basic stereotypical love. Saying "I love you", is also saying "I'm yours" or "forever be mine".

Love is the most powerful bond between people, even if it's friend love or reserved special love. There's so many degrees of love in this world that no one person could ever choose just one person to love.

I know what love feels like. I feel every degree of love that is out there every day. I hope you can too someday.
