What is love? If you love me, I promise to be with you forever? No... Love is unconditional... It doesn't need reassurance, doesn't need conditions to be fulfilled. It is pure, unadulterated feeling for someone who may be very special to you.
The feeling a mother has for her child, the selfless simple gestures, which make a mother sacrifice everything for her child is love. Mother doesn't love a child hoping that someday the child will respect her or treat her well in her old age, there is no expectations in true love. Love means to give unconditionally. It means to be there for someone, it means to bring smiles and little joys in someone's life.
Love is not just a simple feeling. It means to care for someone more than self, to do everything possible to keep that someone happy. It is this feeling that makes one go down on knee to propose, makes one learn to cook, sing or dance just to please someone, makes one pay attention to smallest of details, it means to make someone smile even if it hurts inside. Love never brings tears of sorrow, only of joy. Love never means hiding things, it only knows sharing. Love brings the world closer!
If you truly love someone, you would not bother about how they look, how they dress up. All you would want to see is their smile, their happiness, which trust me is much more valuable than your own. If you are truly in love, you would let the other person fly high, taking support from you but never being held down by you. Love means to look up to someone, respect someone, and not look down upon someone.
Love is often confused with lust or the need to be physically with someone. Those who have never loved someone in the purest form, much above the physical desires would probably never understand this, for them love means to hold, cuddle, make out and do a lot more. But that's not love. Love doesn't need physical proximity, it doesn't need to be held or touched. It is a feeling that can be felt from distances apart, cause love brings hearts closer not the bodies.
Love has no conditions, no boundaries, nothing to hold it still. It needs to be free, it needs wings to fly, and it needs air to breathe just like the other person whom you love! Love means to trust someone totally and completely, the way a child trusts his mother. Love means to let yourself free and be the way you are, not having to pretend or please the one you love. It doesn't need good looks, great body or clothes. If that's what you look for before falling in love, then surely its lust and not love.
