Love is . . .

WANTED, NEEDED AND OFTEN LONGED FOR!
IT KNOWS NO GENDER.
AND NOT ALWAYS TENDER.
SOMETIMES LEAVES PEOPLE IN A WORLD OF CONFUSION.
IT HURTS, YET FEELS SO GOOD.

"IS IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE AND NEVER LOVE, OR HAVE LIVED AND NEVER BEEN LOVED?"-AG
"LOVE IS A GIFT . . . BUT BEWARE OF INDIAN GIVERS."-AG
"YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE CANDY, BUT WOULD YOU ACCEPT LOVE FROM A STRANGER?"-AG
"IT'S NOT AS MUCH THAT THE ONES THAT HURT YOU LOVE YOU, AS IT IS THE ONES THAT LOVE YOU HURT YOU."-AG

Love is such an emotional word. It has different meanings for each and every person. It is one of those words that can spread across the spectrum from taking your breath away, to making you cry. Although some tears my be tears of joy, others are full of pain with every drop that falls.
Some take it seriously, some think its a joke, and others may joke but know when its time to be serious.
What does Love mean to you? Devotion, honor, forever? Whatever it is, be good at it. Love your mate like you know they need to be loved, love your friends/family the way you want to be loved, and love a stranger like your the only one they've got. Love can be passed with something as simple as a smile.
