"Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love." Leo Buscaglia

[Ginger]

Love is all that matters, but love is not enough.

[Sweet Bliss]

scratching your love's back, while enjoying the growling, omg, uuuuhhhh noises

[NorCalStud]

...with Island Scout! Love is not enough to make a love relationship.
Therefore love is many things and everyday love is emotional work...work nonetheless. Therefore, unfortunately OR fortunately Love iz Work:praying:

[Sweet Bliss]

making your love a kick ass omelette, 3 eggs, ham, green pepper, onion, mushrooms, cheese, secret herbs, side of maple bacon, side of toast, with a pot full of hot coffee as a chaser............ every weekend, and sometimes during the week....


getting up first to make coffee.... everyday


massaging your love's back just because........

[Sweet Bliss]

listening to your love's stories... again and again

sharing a tub of popcorn at the movies....

scrubbing your love's back with soapy brush....

kissing your love like you mean it as he/she leaves for work...

:bunchflowers:

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Love is couch snuggles, cooking dinner together, and laughing at yourself and each other. Laughter in a relationship is a must!

[starryeyes]

Love is a warm puppy on your tummy giving warm kisses on your nose.

*swoon*

[TheMerryFairy]

Love is being able to share a tent, off the grid and be able to laugh and have a great time with what we have.

Love is those random times when they show up at your work with coffee - this was a lot easier before I switched jobs. Still smiling though.

[Sweet Bliss]

finding. excuses to rub against; touch; kiss. your love. (f)

Love is being able to share a tent, off the grid and be able to laugh and have a great time with what we have.

Well *this* explains alot! If love is to be found in a tent with no ammenities then no wonder it has eluded me so far. I'm all about the wonders of nature but that needs to end when the sun goes down and you head off to a cabin *on* the grid with lots of lovely appliances that do things for you.

Additionally I like all the animals I encounter to smell nice and have 12 month yearly renewable Disney contracts.

Katniss~~(high maintenance yes, high drama no)

*Laughs* Well , sometimes my previous response is love for me. I didn't think it was universal which is a good thing for you, right? :)

I do like settling back into a cabin with a fireplace, snuggled up close with a book and embracing one anothers company.

I suppose it all depends on where my mind is at the time. Disney movies are usually always a win though :p

[DMW]

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly to-day,
Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms,
Live fairy-gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still.

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear!
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets
The same look which she turned when he rose!

Thomas Moore

[jcisbutch]

Love is that feeling you get when you see her 10 years down the road and still say WOW and realize you are the luckiest person in the entire world!!!!!

[Guy]

Love is You + Me

She makes my cheeks hurt

I can't stop smiling

I can't stop thinking about her when we are apart

Life with her is amazing

I love us :heartbeat:

[Lazy Daze]

Love is You + Me

She makes my cheeks hurt

I can't stop smiling

I can't stop thinking about her when we are apart

Life with her is amazing

I love us :heartbeat:


Love is...This! Being the luckiest girl in the world! Having the most amazing better half, someone who loves me as much as I love Him and isn't afraid to show it. I love you Boo :)

[TheMerryFairy]

Looking beyond your own feelings

[wahya]

Something that iam grateful i will always have in my heart to give no matter how many times i get hurt.

[MsM]

Love is not being upset when I call him at 5 in the morning cause I've had a bad dream and need him.

Love is pretending he has a cape, sword and crown because every prince that fights dragons (or bad dreams) needs that sorta thing.

Love is how much I appreciate him for loving this silly girl with stupid insecurities.

[Trev]

...Creating the right relationship

[Sweet Bliss]

making sure your love's collar looks nice before leaving the house, or your love's shoe is not hanging on to toilet paper.....:pointing:

[Bard]

love is morning cuddles long walks and spending the rest of my life with my best frend

[BowtiePrincess]

Missing someone you never had...........

[JAGG]

It never wanes. It's ageless and timeless.

[~ocean]

<3 is a million and one things ~ one of the most precious moments when loving someone is how they make u swoon w. their sexy kind ways ~

[TheMerryFairy]

Love is sharing cookies in bed, knowing you'll have to either vacuum out the crumbs or have an uncomfortable sleep but realizing it is worth it!

[clay]

me driving, getting biscuits at drive thru, and she so lovingly, tenderly opens mine, wraps it just so, as no crumbs will drop, places a napkin on my thigh....swooon....all without any prompting...:)

[Bèsame*]

..love is .....:heartbeat:

......discovering more....

[TheMerryFairy]

Curling up for the night into a warm bed and thinking about someone or someone(s).

[MysticOceansFL]

Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that just keep bothering me
Chains that just won't set me free
I'm to far away from you and your sweet charm.
Just out of reach of my two empty arms.

Each night in my dreams I see your face
My love for you I can't erase
I awake and find you gone
I'm lost and all alone
Your lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms.

If you need me I'll be here
I'll be faithful never fear
I think of you, both night and day
So close yet far away
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

[MysticOceansFL]

My buddy making mac and cheese for our Easter dinner. I am a vegetarian so it saved me from staring at hym eating ham! (lol)

Knowing that I made them smile, even for a moment - that happiness lights me up.

[cinnamongrrl]

getting past the bad....and making life that much better....together

[TheMerryFairy]

Love is making sure the other knows they are still being thought of, when plans need to be put on hold.

[TheMerryFairy]

Love is fresh baked brownies without frosting.

[MysticOceansFL]

Love is not about finding the right person, But creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.
.................................................. .................................................. ....

Love is a noble act of self-giving, offering trust, faith, and loyalty. The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are; you end up being complete with your loved ones.

[Anomaly]

I love you like kings love queens
Like a gay geneticist loves designer jeans
I need you like New Orleans needs a drought
Like Hitler's father needed to learn to pull out

And I want you
Yeah, like a Lawyer/Mathematician wants some kind of proof
And I want you
Yeah, like JFK wanted a car with a roof

Because
Love is taking that dive, then getting really comfortable and peeing in the pool and
Love is a real life porn
Minus all the stuff that makes porn cool and

Love is a homeless guy
Searching for treasure in the middle of the rain and
Finding a bag of gold coins and slowly finding out they're all filled with chocolate and
Even though he's heartbroken, he can't complain 'cause he was hungry in the first place

Because
I love you like Dora loves maps
Like the pope's toilet loves holy craps... (that's a little one)
I need you like a voyeur needs a branch
Like boys tossing salad needs a little bit of Neverland Ranch

And I want you
Yeah, like all the gothic kids that look exactly the same never want to conform
And I want you like Anne Frank wanted nobody to read her FUCKING diary
'Cause a diary is a collection of secret things that no one's supposed to read; that's the whole point of a diary. Millions of people have breached this little girls privacy after she was chased by Nazis... kick her while she's down

And if we met in 10,000 BC
I was your caveman, you's my cavelady
If we got hot, we'd start rubbing
If we got hungry, we'd go clubbing
There's woolly mammoths, but won't pretend
'Cause you're making me devolve into a homo-erectus, motherfucker

And if we met in 1780
I was a white, southern, aristocratic plantation owner and you were my dark-skinned servant lady... slave
Whenever I could get away from the Missus
I'd go to your shed, and then I'd steal you kisses
But let's be serious, I'd still work you full-time as a slave, there's a difference between romantic language and complete disregard for socio-economic trends

And if we met in 1941
I was a Nazi, you's a Gypsy on the run (that's a little redundant)
That... probably wouldn't have worked out...

Because...
Love is your favorite food for every breakfast, lunch, and dinner and
Love is the Holocaust, if you don't die quick, and you don't get thinner and
Love is being the owner of the company that makes rape whistles and
Even though you started with good intentions, trying to reduce the rate of rape
Now you don't want to reduce it at all; 'cause if the rape rate declines, you'll see an equal decline in whistle sales...
Without rapists, who's gonna buy your whistles?

Yeahhhh, love is all about... Whistles. Thank you.

I think it's perfect!


"Oh, I've been (to) so many places
I've seen some things
I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better"
Miracles by Jefferson starship

[Lazy Daze]

Love is...

Him being willing to go to the barn and help me patch up a bleeding leg on my horse, even though He doesn't have a very strong stomach and not a whole lot of horse exposure. He went and was a big help!

Kissing me goodbye every morning, saying I love you and be careful, no matter how groogy he is

Him being my everything, and me being His

[Queenie]

the way he just gets me.

[Library_girl]

Love is the feeling that I can't wait to tell Hym every tiny little thing, and Hy can't wait to hear all of them....Hy can hear the joy in my voice and celebrates it with me.

Love is.....about a million other things too. :)

This song explains it" Love Is-Katrina Elam"

Wanting the best for that other person...even if that isn't you.

[bright_arrow]

Love is... my dad driving the two hours to be here at 9 a.m. to bring us palettes to get wet boxes off the basement floor, and give us money to cover the cost of the sump pump we had to go out and buy on a whim.

[spritzerJ]

Love is teasing the "fudge" hoarder in your life mercilessly.

:superfunny:

Knowing you'd never harm their fudge. Even if it is 5 years old, taking up precious freezer space and makes you roll your eyes.

[Daktari]

Love is not needing to be in a relationship to love myself.

[JAGG]

Love is sharing your problems, and problem solving together.

Love is being there when you're needed.


Love is that phone call to say I miss you. :)

[cinnamongrrl]

Love is...

a secret love note...hidden in an obvious place for me to find... :)

Love is worrying about the one you love

[StrongButch]

Love is amazing!

[Duchess]

Love is......Wanting what's best for yourself and not settling for anything less.

[girllikeu2]

Love is resisting the urge to smother someone who desperately deserves it in their sleep because you know at some point you will miss them. <3 (romance... I am all about it)

[~baby~doll~]

Love today is gentle closeness and tenderness.
It is sharing moments and glances.
It is being in the garden soil beside them and loving just the sense of care.
The smile that flashed across Helen's lips when I leaned to kiss her cheek.
Love is all around me today and it means joy and wonder.

[gotoseagrl]

~ selfless

[TheMerryFairy]

Love is going all in and nourishing the passion, while still making sure you each take time for yourself

[~ocean]

love is very special ~ being the most amazing person in eachothers lives ~ not leaving any room for doubt ~ feeling safe with their love ~

[MysticOceansFL]

It's like faith, you can't see it or touch it but you know it surrounds you, because you can feel it.

[GreeneyedMe]

Love is...2 hearts that beat as one. Shared secret smiles, laughter..."speaking" with a look across the room...and kind, never hurtful.

...Asking..."Did you miss me?"

...Getting the answer..."Every day of my life."

Because no matter near or far
That someone is
Your shining star...

[Cailin]

Its knowing that no matter how much of a freak you are, they're right beside you, holding your hand (not infront, or behind) and loving every bit of it.

[MegBluEyz]

Sometimes love is hidden in the corners of one’s heart.
Protected from the outside world and its influences.
True love never dies but lives on endlessly through time.
It cannot hide the enduring or its soul.
-MegBluEyz

[*Anya*]

...growing in direct proportion to the degree of vulnerability I allow myself.

[Medusa]

Love is that place within you where you are sitting in the bed next to your sleeping lover and you look over at her and know beyond anything you've ever known that this is *right* and *real* and that this person is your soulmate. And love is wanting to keep her safe from everything while simultaneously wanting to give her everything.

[Kenna]

Love is...having faith from deep within

[gotoseagrl]

When it's bedtime and your Love keeps fighting off sleep so their eyes can be open just one more time to see you. Watching this go on for at least an hour ... simple things are love.

Its never ending, and gives us hope.

[storyspinner70]

Love is....complicated...accepting...messy...everything to me

[JDeere]

Love is... raucous, raunchy and freaky!

[gotoseagrl]

Humble ... always being grateful
Daily rituals
Filling the cookie jar
Old-fashioned homemaking
Serving my Love
Sleeping as close as possible together
A peaceful, quiet home
Laughing to tears
Always feeling safe & protected
The feeling that takes your breath away when you are near the other person
When I Love You escapes multiple times without even realizing it

[Gayandgray]

Love is complicated

[gotoseagrl]

When your Partner takes such good care of you while you are so sick. And they never look at you any differently even though you are a real mess.

[kittygrrl]

love is...what you make it, it's up to you

[giggleluver]

Love is... compersion

[kittygrrl]

Love feels good...

[JDeere]

Love is.... being able to discuss issues without fighting!

[LOQUI]

Love is...sometimes preceeded by fear...

A reading from DailyOm:

"Anything really worth doing in our lives will always have some fear attached to it.


Anything worth doing will always have some fear attached to it. For example, having a baby, getting married, changing careers—all of these life changes can bring up deep fears. It helps to remember that this type of fear is good. It is your way of questioning whether you really want the new life these changes will bring. It is also a potent reminder that releasing and grieving the past is a necessary part of moving into the new.

Fear has a way of throwing us off balance, making us feel uncertain and insecure, but it is not meant to discourage us. Its purpose is to notify us that we are at the edge of our comfort zone, poised in between the old life and a new one. Whenever we face our fear, we overcome an inner obstacle and move into new and life-enhancing territory, both inside and out. The more we learn to respect and even welcome fear, the more we will be able to hear its wisdom, wisdom that will let us know that the time has come to move forward, or not. While comfort with fear is a contradiction in terms, we can learn to honor our fear, recognizing its arrival, listening to its intelligence, and respecting it as a harbinger of transformation. Indeed, it informs us that the change we are contemplating is significant, enabling us to approach it with the proper reverence.

You might wish to converse with your fear, plumbing its depths for a greater understanding of the change you are making. You could do this by sitting quietly in meditation and listening or by journaling. Writing down whatever comes up—your worries, your sadness, your excitement, your hopes—is a great way to learn about yourself through the vehicle of fear and to remember that fear almost always comes alongside anything worth doing in your life."

That's all folks...:byebye:

[girl_dee]

Love is getting my puppy dog up to date on her shots and getting a checkup..





:dog:

[homoe]

Not all that it's cracked up to be..................

[Soft*Silver]

love is being able to tell each other during the middle of an argument, that this will get resolved because we matter to each other.

damn right skippy! I love when I never have to fear any argument is going to break us up. Too many people want to just walk away when horns lock. They escalate the minor problem into a break up situation. Thats like two 3 year olds battling over a toy and then sitting down and bawling like babies because neither got everything they wanted. Grown ups know in an argument, neither person gets everything they want. And both people's feelings are damaged and need tended to when the argument is over.

[legally_b10nde]

Love is when you can't stop thinking about your partner....

[Gemme]

Love is when you can't stop thinking about your partner....

That sounds like infatuation or obsession to me but I get what you are saying.

Love is.....sharing the last one/piece of something when you really, really, REALLY wanted to have the whole thing yourself. Maturity is not being resentful for the sharing later on, when you have the cravings for whatever it was.

:praying:

[gotoseagrl]

~ Immeasurable
~ Inevitable
~ Raw
~ Truth

~ Admiring someone for who they are, not just what they give or do for you.

[kittygrrl]

as much as I love passionate love-self love and a confidence of your own worth is even more important-you can't give what you don't have-

[candy_coated_bitch]

Sharing mashed potatoes.

[BullDog]

When your partner still loves you, believes in you, sees the good in you and is there for you even when you are far from being your best. It's no excuse for bad behavior, but true love is there at all times.

"At your absolute best, you still won't be good enough for the wrong person. At your worst, you'll still be worth it to the right person." - Unknown (but so true)

[Shystonefem]

Being able to be your absolute self and not having to worry.

[girl_dee]

love is being shaken and having your person dust you off and put you back on track :heartbeat:

[AmazonDC]

Love is seeing the whole person and giving yourself completely to them with no judgement

[Gemme]

Love is moving past any crumbs in the butter that come up.

Love is never losing your fire and passion when a person is not a good fit for you or you for them...

oh gosh, YES. My fire went out after the past two really bad endings to relationships, on two different levels.

Love is finding my fire and passion again.

[Bèsame*]

Sharing the same space.

[JDeere]

Non existent in my heart, right now!

Love is taking care of self... being honest with one's self...
Loving people for who they truly are and accepting them as they are at that time of their journey... including accepting one's self at all times...

Love is waking up feeling this way!

[Genesis]

Love is remembering how You taught me Your secret trick to perfect sunnyside up eggs... I miss You evey single day...

Love is free and easy.

[legally_b10nde]

beautiful intangible thing

[candy_coated_bitch]

Drink runs in the rain.

[AmazonDC]

Love is knowing despite your jagged edges you are adored and craved in every way.. love is knowing without hearing the words...love is normalcy.

[Bèsame*]

Communication efforts around trying schedules and always ending with a smile :)

[girl_dee]

Love is someone happiness being the most important thing to you<3

[NavyButch]

Remembering who YOU are and not getting lost in the relationship.

[Genesis]

Love is POWERFUL!

[girl_dee]

Love is patient!

[Logicaly]

Love is back scratches just because

[Medusa]

Love is that sweet and peaceful feeling where you truly see a human being for who they are with all of their flaws, their stories, their quirks, their ways of doing life and you don't want to change a fucking thing about them. <3

[clay]

sharing a kiss at that moment...just because...one may be walking by you in a room....

holding hands when one is afraid...


a million tiny little gestures...done "just because".....that means the most.....

handwritten notes & cards...just because you thought of them ATM....

A random text just to say "I care".... or "I love you"....

that peaceful, easy flow of synergy when you are together....


that ache deep in your heart when apart....

that smile at the thoughts of stolen kisses....hugs...and just "being" in that moment...

[CherryWine]

At first, it's a fancy little cocktail of chemicals in the brain; then, it just gets messy. :)

It's no Nicholas Sparks novel. That's for sure.

It is hard work, but it is worth it.

Love is... all those wonderful things... and...

... a big giant pain in the arse!! Don't play... don't front... yes it is!! :seeingstars:





















P.S. And yet... still worth the suffering. ;)

[BullDog]

Love and infatuation are two entirely different things. They really are miles apart.

[cathexis]

At first, it's a fancy little cocktail of chemicals in the brain; then, it just gets messy. :)

It's no Nicholas Sparks novel. That's for sure.

It is hard work, but it is worth it.

Aren't all "feelings" just funny little cocktails of chemicals in the brain?
They don't get messy.

We just don't understand them yet.

[CherryWine]

Aren't all "feelings" just funny little cocktails of chemicals in the brain?


Yes, I think that is safe to say.

Romantic relationships tend to start off in the “honeymoon phase” when everything is peaches and cream, so to speak. That feeling of everything being perfect is the result of chemicals in the brain, and it feels freaking awesome. Eventually that phase wears off, and that’s when “true love” kicks in (or not), in my opinion and experience. And when it does, it is beautifully messy...just like life. It’s not always easy, as I’m sure you know having been partnered for 22 years (which is very admirable, by the way).

love is truly wanting your loves to be happy..........

[bright_arrow]

Love is when he pulls you in close for cuddles when you are getting back into bed at 4 a.m. and he is still asleep but senses you ♡♡♡

Love is a 3 a.m. text conversation with your sister

Love is a cat stretched out across the top of your chair that purrs simply from your head leaning back against him

Love is a text from your coworker telling you she is off but to have a great weekend

Love is group Snapchat with your "squad" (boyfriend and his sister) that involves drag queen-looking snapshots and updates throughout the day just about everyone's day

[girl_dee]

love is setting up boundaries so you can nest inside them with your love and drown in it

[Gemme]

love is setting up boundaries so you can nest inside them with your love and drown in it

I love this but I'm going to change 'drown' to 'float'.

Sounds less deadly.

FINE.

FLOAT.

Love is my favorite femme and hearing her say she is happy. :stillheart:

[Gemme]

FINE.

FLOAT.

lol

You can say drown but I'm a poor swimmer and it makes me anxious but float reminds me of floaties and who doesn't love floaties?

<3

[girl_dee]

Love is being vulnerable.......

[girl_dee]

Love is a connection no matter how many miles.

[Shystonefem]

Love and infatuation are two entirely different things. They really are miles apart.


I agree. Infatuation is selfish. Love is selfless

Infatuation wears off after "real life" starts.

Real life doesn't affect real love.

[StoicStone]

Love is snuggling on the couch with your grandchild watching cartoons.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Love is being driven around when I'm scared to drive my dying car.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Love is....

Making a commitment to love honor and cherish, and not chucking it all away when someone else catches your eye.

Having the maturity to know how much power your actions have to harm the ones that love you.

Buying separate tubes of toothpaste because who wants to fight about how you squeeze/roll the tube?

Making bacon for breakfast when you prefer sausage.

vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce...lol

The way my hear sings when my Kasey walks in the room.

[kittygrrl]

Love is seen in the little things you do each day that say -I love you-You are important

[girl_dee]

Love is having their back :love1:

[indigo]

love is something I will never fully understand how it works, but feel its existence

[Logicaly]

Love is when she gets up at 6am on the first day of your new work schedule and makes you a fresh pot of coffee and breakfast.

Love is stealing glances at each other from across our office, only to smile when we are caught.

Getting a Christmas present before it's even Christmas:
Santa made sure that I had my very own copy of the book, Big Little Lies. :awww:

[Penelope]

Love is...working on the area in front of my cottage even though it in NO way benefits him. :heartbeat: And buying me Starbucks not once but twice in a day for all of my hard work. :cheer:

[~SweetCheeks~]

Love is getting home late from work and even though Daddy was asleep hy gets up to spend some time with me as we have not had time together lately.

thank you baby****

I have to say that this is one of the blessings of being single. After my last relationship, I was so relieved to realize there would be no more Dancing with the Stars. However, in the spirit of the thread,

Love is when one's first instinct is not to defend, but to understand.

[girl_dee]

SNIP

Love is when one's first instinct is not to defend, but to understand.

THIS..... when someone is very defensive it causes me not to want to speak to them about hard topics...then i causes me to feel blamed, then my defense kicks in.... and nothing is resolved....

Love is... just trying to understand what the other person is feeling or going through....and acknowledging them so they feel heard

[AmazonDC]

Keeping a calm tone while hanging bkinds and having to fix them to a spot I had already put them in the first place... gotta love My babygrl

[girl_dee]

Love is trust........

[2qt]

Love is when words don't need to be spoken because the reflection from their eyes staring into yours echo volumes of content instead.....

Love is when there is no rhyme or rythem to understand the logic's of what you feel because what you feel defies all the logic.....

[hopelessromantic69]

Love is when the feeling consumes you like a blue flame, penetrates your soul..leaving your heart sighing with relief and saying "there you are...at last"

[Bèsame*]

Love is soap bubbles, red/white/blue glow Sticks and a spray bottle. Love is having a good time:)

[clay]

love is...asking me HOW I may be feeling.....and listening to my words....

[AmazonDC]

Sitting through a really bad movie because she likes it..lol

Says the guy who thinks that The Running Man is a good movie.

Love is accepting that your partner has strange tastes.

Love is seeing yourself through someone else's eyes........(not an easy task)

[Kätzchen]

"Love is not a feeling; love is an ability,"

~ From the movie, Dan In Real Life.

[girl_dee]

Love is saying "i love you" when they other person doesn't feel so lovable

[Orema]

Love is seeing yourself through someone else's eyes........(not an easy task)

It's not an easy task, but it's so effective (for me). I just saw myself in someone's actions this week and it immediately prompted an adjustment on my part.

[gotoseagrl]

Love is actions, not simply words. It's such a tired cliche, but it is so true. Think about it.

People who don't listen, don't respect boundaries, while all in the same breath swearing they love you so much, is not good love. Or else if it really is them thinking they love you, then it's not healthy love. I think there are two types of love. Healthy love and unhealthy love. Unhealthy love is very draining & selfish and the negativity consumes too much of the time and relationship.

I do think someone who has a lot of bad issues and is unhealthy (mentally/emotionally) can genuinely love someone in their very unhealthy ways. And be none the wiser.

Also known as "what NOT to.do in a relationship"

[gotoseagrl]

~ Finding it so easy to be the essence of who you truly are
~ Endless conversation - having so much to share and talk about, there is never enough time in a day,
or lifetime
~ The overwhelming need to always let them know, even if there aren't enough words to fully express just how much
~ Admiring who they are, not just what they do for you

[kittygrrl]

:heartbeat: is-usually right in front of us

[bright_arrow]

Love is him sharing his drink with me, even though I have one, because his is ice cold.

Love is my dad knocking on our door for breakfast, singing "Wakey wakey, shakey shakey!" with coffee brewed :blush:

[cinnamongrrl]

apparently this is what it's all about...I had no idea. I feel so blessed...

LOVE IS:

Everything and nothing...
Action and reaction
Too much and too little
Generous and selfish
Joy and pain
Hard work and easy like Sunday mornings
Elusive yet right before your very eyes
For the taking or giving
Doing and not doing...
Everything and nothing
That's what
LOVE IS...
:moonstars:

[girl_dee]

Love is feeling this excitement....

Love is Action...Action...Action when it is needed...

Love is a 30' travel trailer, and enjoying beingthisclose.

[RockOn]

For me, love is waking up with my three furfaces. Before we get out of bed we snuggle close into a puppy pile. I smooch all over their faces, tell them how much I love them, how special they are and how thankful I am to be graced enough to have sweet, loving babies like them in my life.

I need them more than they need me.

For me ...
Kevin Daniel, Jennifer Avery and little Jeffrey Alan are what it is all about.
