I have asked this simple three worded question many a times? The responses I have received vary from very intellectual thoughts to the utmost verbal diarrohea. LOL!!!! It is a feeling or a principle? Is it real or an object of our imagination? Is it possible to ever stop loving someone or is it an eternal feeling once it is developed? Now, I personally cannot answer these questions. I can however say that when you love, there is nothing that someone can tell you to defer your mind from these feelings. love ! I personally do not think love is is based on emotions. I do think love however is a principle. Love is more about dedication to someone regardless of their financial status, their emotional state or even their intellectual level. Love is staying true to this person through the roughest of times. Whether it be a terminal illness , a mental disorder or a physical disability. Saying those three words comes with alot of dedication and responsibility. Once you have said those words you are now responsible for the well being of that person. I cant tell you everything about love but I can however tell you that I AM LOVED!!!!!!! I know that my special someone definitely loves me and yes he holds all the characteristics above mentioned. So people the next time your boyfriend of two months says he loves you just to get into your panties(LOL!!!!!!!!!) run the characteristics by him and see how he responds!!! LOL!!!!
