What is love

What is love?

How do I know one's true intentions?

Is it the words that get tossed around so often

"I love you" 

No, love is "text me when you get home safe"

Love is looking at your significant other and not imagining anything better

Commucation and trust not silence and deceit  

Love is two people becoming one

Knowing someone's favorite color to their darkest secrets 

Love is a bond that shouldn't be broken through hurtful words and dishonesty 

Love is not lust and should not be mistaken for such

It is not wanting to "get" with the person but wanting to spend time with the person 

The words may not always be spoken but they feelings are there 

Love is something I hope I find on this journey of my life 

Through my family I have already seen love radiate off of my parents and my granparents

I aspire to have the relationships they have 

They may not say I love you everyday but they say it in their actions 

It could be a kiss on the cheek or a dozen roses

The little gestures that mean so much

I love you all for teaching me what a healthy relationship should be
