"Love" ?


How can you claim to "love" someone when all you do is hurt them ? What is "Love" ? People say its a big word with so much meaning... Everyone who said they "love" me, all ended up hurting me. The saddest part is that even family can end up hurting you. Which hurts even more... I hear people talking about how much they love their family... Their mom, dad, grandparents... My mom says she "loves" me... Would you disappear for 3 years from someone you love ? My dad says he "loves" me... Would you abuse, choke, and abandon someone you love ? My aunt says she "loves" me... Would you start rumors about someone you love ? My brother says she "loves" me... Would you tell people someones secrets if you love them ? My family says they "love" me... Would you forget about someone you love, just because they like the same sex ? . . . Well...you tell me, what is Love ?
