The document discusses the difficulty in defining love and explores different perspectives on what love means. It considers love as an emotion that is felt through physical intimacy, seen in beauty, and heard through nature. However, the document questions if love requires sacrifice and pain, and concludes that while being with their partner brings warmth and weakness, they are still unsure if what they feel is truly love.

1. Can you define love? The definition of love is vague and
yet, so simple. All of us fall in love, but how many of us
understand the true meaning of love? Rick Casalos wears
his heart on his sleeve and talks about love, and why he
wakes up every morning.
The meaning of love can’t really be explained, it has to be experienced.
The definition of love may be two sentences long, but what is love really, and
how does it work?
And how does it make you feel?
The meaning of love
Love… I wonder what it really means.

Is it the feeling that makes me want to jump out with joy?
Or is it that touch that makes me want to skip across the clouds?
I wonder if it is love when I feel happy to see her face, or is it love when I
embrace her passionately?
It’s strange but words seem to welcome poverty when we try to find the meaning
of love.
I don’t know if I’m in love, I ask myself all the time if I’m in love.

2. Defining emotions – The definition of love
I really don’t know the definition of love because no one has ever showed me
what love really is. They say it is felt, when I embrace my lover, when I hold her
palms. They say it is to be heard, in the rustle of the leaves, in the cool breeze, in
the words of the special person in my life. [Read: 25 relationship rules to

They say love is to be seen in the beauty of the world, in the depth of my lover’s
eyes.
Or as some say, is love is to be tasted, like the sweet candy that melts in my
mouth, or the way I melt when my lips meet her lips?
I don’t know what the definition of love is, but does love mean sacrifices and
pain? Or is it love when I kill myself for her love? If that is true love, then perhaps,
I’m not in love at all. I have never felt like I have sacrificed anything for her, I
have readily given up anything that I could give up to make her happy. [Read: A

So what then, is the meaning of love?
I have never felt pain when she fought with me, I have understood her better.
And I would never kill myself, why would I want to leave such a beautiful place,
and a beautiful person like her, just to prove that I love her? So am I in love with
her, I don’t know.
What is love then?

3. Perhaps I still don’t know what love is, because no one has ever told me what
love is. I’ve only read about it in books and listened to songs that try to explain
the meaning of love.
I’ve heard songs that say love is like a river, some songs that say love is like an
undying flame, and yet others that say love is like a warm breeze. How can love
be so many different things and yet be the same?
But I do know that my world stops when I’m with her. I burn inside and warmth
fills within me as she clasps my hand in hers. I lose sight of the world when I
gaze into her eyes. I don’t know what it is that makes me weak when she hugs
me. She makes me feel special when she’s around me. But I did tell her that I
loved her, but I’ve been thinking about that ever since the day I told her that, is it
love really, what I feel for her? [Read: 25 sweet romantic gestures for everyday
