What is Love?

Love. Its one of the most beautiful feelings you can ever experience. But it seems that, over the years, the word has lost all meaning. Love used to mean something. Love used to be reserved for the people who cared for you and raised you and for the person you were sure you were going to spend the rest of your life with. These days, people love everything and everybody i.e. "I love chocolate" or "I love that waiter". Now, I'm guilty of this myself. We can't control ourselves with that word anymore. It has pretty much become the equivalent of what like used to mean. Love, in a relationship, used to be something you couldn't even say until, not only was the time right, but you both would've had to have invested enough time and emotion into it for you to really be sure it was love. Now, if a relationship lasts longer than two weeks, its time for love to be thrown around like its nobody's business. And I'm not saying I haven't and won't continue to do this, because I will. We all will. Its now just a matter of realizing when you mean love, or really are in true, everlasting love. Thank you for your time.
