Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. In religious context, love is not just a virtue, but the basis for all being ("God is love", and the foundation for all divine law (Golden Rule).
The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my wife"). "Love" can also refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros (cf. Greek words for love), to the emotional closeness of familial love, or to the platonic love that defines friendship,to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
The word "love" can have a variety of related but distinct meanings in different contexts. Often, other languages use multiple words to express some of the different concepts that English relies mainly on "love" to encapsulate; one example is the plurality of Greek words for "love." Cultural differences in conceptualizing love thus make it doubly difficult to establish any universal definition.
Although the nature or essence of love is a subject of frequent debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't love. As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more emotionally intimate form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, although other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.

you surprised me
It’s been more than a month now since I met you. I am happy because I still feel the same feelings I had that time – the excitement, the sparks and the love.
I am Surprised. I am overwhelmed. I can’t still believe I have you now.
Even though the way how we started this is not normal still we manage to continue and fight for it. There are disadvantages but the hell I care.
If this is just a dream I don’t want to wake up and face the reality because now you are my reality. I’m living my everyday with you in it.
I didn’t expect this. No plans. No control.
It is not easy to find someone who will have the same feelings and decisions as yours. A lot of things are complicated. There are factors to consider – likes, dislikes, personality, looks and interest and they are all hard to found mutual in one person. People say true love accepts imperfections and it gives always exceptions.
Every time with you are precious to me. I am hoping that changes will be for better.
I don’t want to say promises hence; I’ll try to show what I want to promise.
I am looking forward for more days, months and years for us my love. Let’s see, let’s pray and let’s act to make this relationship work.
