It is often thought of as this burning fire.

The excitement and the jitters and the nerves just from the smallest glance

The longing to touch hands or have candle-light dinners and serenades

It is the dread of, "what if everything goes wrong?"

The panic and the heartbrokeness,

but simultaneously the hope and dream-like state.

But after that love is much different.

It doesn't have to be between to lovers,

it can exist between friends, family, those dear to the heart

It is a constant caring

It is questions like, "how are you doing today, really?", "are you safe?"

It's is supportiveness and positivity.

It is being unable to imagine a life without this person in it.

A blazing warmth that starts in the heart and heats up your whole body.

Love can be towards strangers

It may not be as personal, 

but it is what makes the world go round.

The empathy towards people in danger,

Donations that will help someone in need.

A vote to make a country feel more accepting.

Love comes in many forms,

in many expressions,

to many different people.

It is not so simple,

but at the same time it is easy and natural.

Love is important.

It transforms the world into a much more magnificent place.

Love is a crucial part of living.
