What's Love?

What's love?

Its an easy question, but really what is love? Is it happiness? Is it understanding? Is it a warm gushy feeling on the inside? Butterflies in your stomach? There's so many ways to describe love and what it feels like, but no one can really answer that question of what is love? I've seen and experienced different types of "love" that didn't really match any of the feelings above. I've had that abusive love, you know that type of love where your man will smack the sh*t out of you on a regular basis, but claim that he loves you. Hmm...I've had that type of love before and it didn't make me feel warm and gushy inside! I've experienced puppy love, you know that love you feel when your around your crush, or the one you claim is your first love. That young inexperienced, I don't know what this is but I think its love! That made me feel warm and gushy inside with butterflies in my stomach, but that love didn't last long. So could it really qualify?

I've had the "I-cheat-on-you-but-you're-my-main-squeeze" love, and I felt something inside, I felt sick to my stomach! How can you really love someone but cheat on them and treat them badly? I've experienced all types of love and never really could pin point what made it love or why I would think I was in love with that person in the first place. The person that I love it feels so genuine and effortless that its scary, but maybe thats what love is. Its effortless, and natural, genuine and real, and it comes so easily that you don't even realize that you're in love til you're already head over heels. I know that probably sounds cliche` but thats how I feel right about now, and its great......
