Love

Love: strong affection: warm attachment.  Sounds simple enough.  The two basic definitions for probably the most powerful word in the English language, at least in my opinion.  I try not to use the word very often.  I love my family and closest friends, but that's about it.  Musiq said it best when he said the word is used in vain.  So what is love to me?  I don't think there is a true way to define love.  Love can only be shown by actions.  People always say they love chocolate, or a song, or a city etc.  But is that really love?  It's hard to imagine anybody giving up their life for any of those things.  So I guess that is my definition of love; anything you would give your life for.  Of course that's the most extreme definition.  I'm not knocking those who just throw the word love around like it's nothing.  More power to those who do that.  I'm not one of those people who do that.  I'm much more careful when I use the word love.  And I can't say that I've never said that I loved a song or something.  I have.  But I've only been in love twice.  I'm twenty eight.  That is a pretty good ratio to me.  Hopefully there won't be anybody offended or trying to figure out if they're one of the two.  If they have to question whether they are one of the two then I did something wrong.  But that doesn't mean that the chase is over.  I think I know what I want more now than I ever have.  Maybe here real soon, I'll have to change my definition.  Make sure to watch the video.  It shows love in different forms.  Get 'em Eric!!!
