What is love? Can it be defined?

To me, love is finding 'home' in one person. Love isn't finding someone you can live with, but someone you can't live without. Someone that you love for their perfect imperfections, and someone you would rather laugh/argue/be with over anyone else. Love starts as a concept and develops into a person. Love is caring more about someone than yourself and putting their needs before yours, not because you have to, but because you want to. Love is waking up in the middle of a field of yellow grass with the last rays of the sun keeping you just warm enough to want to stay there forever. I firmly believe love can't be defined, which might sound cliche, but it isn't something that I can confidently put into words, it simply differs from individual to individual. What I do know is that each and every individual on this Earth deserves the chance to find and feel love regardless of where it might come from. The love where no matter your best or your worst days it is there for you, love that can hold you and cradle in your fragile soul, making your heart feel warm once again. It is love that in the darkest of times, when it feels as if the world is on your shoulders, can make you feel as though maybe everything will be okay. It is the reassurance, hope, and faith and a reminder that at the end of the day everything will be okay and that with each new day comes yet another chance to start all over again. Love helps you thrive, it pushes you to places you never thought you could go. It provides guidance as you grow and soar high above your fears and doubts. Love shows you the best person you can be and the motivation to reach for it. Love is diverse, but regardless it is simply a silly little four letter word that can mean so much more when given the chance. Love is an action. Love is a choice. Love is a feeling . Love is the sweetest part of life. Love is forgiveness. Love is giving. Love is being open to new possibilities. Love is about compromise. Love is butterflies in your stomach. Love is knowing you would die to save your loved one. Love is the feeling of home. Love is letting your guard down and opening yourself to being vulnerable. Love is hard to find but easy to give away. Love is a struggle but it is also life's biggest pick me up. Love is sometimes unconditional and sometimes fleeting. Love is blind. Love is the best form of happiness. When you love someone you give them your time, and attention on good days and bad. Love is as much about giving as it is about receiving. Love is not all things shiny and gold. Love is eternal. How you love is who you are. Love is the tension in the room. Love is the fire in your heart. Love is passion and longing for another. Love is the space in between spaces. Love is everything you could ever need and more. I could go on forever because love is the way to keep us going and a reassurance that what we learn from each other is connected by that feeling. It may seem cliche but I don't care we all have our own opinions and quit frankly I believe you only fall in love once in your life because it's that person who you know as soon as you laid eyes on then they are the ones you want to spend the rest of your life with, and so forth.
