Love

Love.

What an interesting word. There are so many definitions. So many ways to say it. So many ways to mean it. What an interesting word.

I believe our capacity to love grows as we get older. Love grows the longer you hold it in your heart.

I believe you can love... But not be in love. You can be absolutely positive that you would do anything and everything for a person... But not want to be involved romantically.

I have also conjured up my own working definition of love.

Love is being comfortable with someone. You can talk about anything. You can say whatever you want. You can agree to disagree, even on the big stuff. Love is being able to tough out the uncomfortable situations, because you find the comfort in each other.

Love is the ability to listen. Love is the ability to keep your mouth shut, even when you're dying to say something.

Love is the ability to read each other's minds. To know what the other one is thinking. All with one look.

Love.

What an interesting word.
