What Is Love?

What is love? I know that many eons and millions of words have been spouted out on this topic, but what is this thing called love? It is the unconditional giving of oneself without losing oneself. It is the willingness to grow and share that growth with a willing partner. It is the joy of sharing and being as one yet individuals. It is the unconditional communication between two people. It is a commitment to that person to be there, to honor the other and to respect them and validate them. It is to cherish, share, smile and cry together. To experience life and all it has to offer. Where the "things" in life do not mean as much as each other. Where your hearts share and relish in one another. It is a place of contentment and experience. It is the beauty and grace of two spirits/souls intertwined in the magical journey of life. It is taking those nuances of each and combining them into tolerance and acceptance. It is the combining of two individuals into one unit, but maintaining the needed individuality for survival. It is holding, kissing, hugging, making love and the warmth of two people cuddled together. It is acknowledging the feelings and needs of each. It is a commitment to help the other in any endeavor that they should choose to embark upon. It is knowing the others heart! It is not being afraid, but being honest, caring and compassionate. It is helping your partner to grow and not yet not becoming afraid of that person, but being able to share what needs to be said and saying it in love. It is acknowledging the boundaries of each and of self and maintaining those lines.
