Funny thing love.

AHH, love, whats IS love? is it a feeling? an emotion? a sense? when we tell someone we "love" them what do we mean? I think that love has lost it's value in the world, nowadays, we tell our closest friends that we "love" them, and for the people we really feel strongly about we say "I like you". it's a little odd, you would think Love would have a much greater value than Like.
So, how do we know when we love someone? well, to be frank, i don't know. all that we know is ourselves, we know our feelings, our emotions, our thoughts. When we learn to read all these things together, unbiased, we might find our love.
The world has perverted Love, people seem to think "oh damn, she's hot, i love her". They confuse Love with Lust, Lust is the near opposite of love, it is wrong and should never be taken as love. The world has tried to destroy love, it has tried to destroy marriage, it has tried to lower the value, "why get married?" "why love someone?".
Love is one of the last great things we have on earth, more beautiful than any song or painting, we cannot tame it, it is pure. Love gets past looks, it shows you a person for who they really are, and you love them for that. It isn't sex either, but I'll save that for another time or else I'll just ramble on forever.
So, to answer my question "what is love", well, to put it simply, Love is Love. There is no other way to express it unless to a person, it's more of an action, something you do, but then again, it is also a feeling. Love is in a category of it's own, true love lasts forever, it doesn't fail. There are so many broken marriages now because people misinterpret love, and it breaks my heart, if parents don't even know what love is who will teach us? who will teach the kids? I see kids today, they have their boyfriends or girlfriends, and it seems to a new person every 2 months. is that love? is that what it means to love someone?
Growing up i have seen what it means to love someone, I have seen that it is only possible to love one person, and when you love that person nothing can stop you. Love is not the latest boyfriend or girlfriend, it's not something you play around with. It's like drawing with no eraser, you have to be careful where you put your lines because once their on the paper they never come off.
