Please choose one, or more. I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. If you choose a write in option, say so and expand on it.

love is a cupcake given to a stranger

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

In all honesty, I don't know, but I know I like it.

You're asking the same question that every love-lorn poet has been asking for centuries if not millenia.

I have to say it's at least all of the things listed as options in the poll. For some it might be less, in some it's more. Love is one of those things best defined on an individual and case-by-case basis.

For me love is different for every person I love.

I love everyone.

There are many good people, most of whom I'll never meet, and I love them. There are a few evil people and they deserve to die and the most perfect expression of my love is to do what I can to help them do so (I'm thinking the Hitlers and child-molesters of the world, not "the gays" or anything like that). I love her more than life and would give it up freely if it saved her pain. I love myself, I love my family, I love every living creature. Most of all, I love lamp.

All of these loves are defined differently. They're felt and expressed differently. They are all bound by different rules.

My favorite cheesy answer is, "Love is your souls recognition of it's counterpoint in another."

Are you just looking around and saying you love things?

A many Splendord thing. Since a thing should be a noun, I don't know anymore.

All you need is love! BAH bah-da bah-da...

What is love?
Its something we make
In those few quiet hours
before the day can break.
Drawing designs on the lives that we live
Both just wanting to take...forgetting to give.

Love takes no less than everything. -Vanessa Williams in her duet with Brian McKnight "Love Is".

Just thought that's the true definition.

Love is, what you want it to be.
Love is, heaven to the lonely.
(can't remember the rest of the words)

Love for me is the attachment I feel for my family, which can be battered by short term events but will never change long term.

Everything else I've felt I can only assume is lust/ passion/ obsession as it hasn't lasted.
