I have been told in my Skills for Life class that the feeling of love is a chemical reaction in our bodies that causes us to feel an attraction to one particular person.
I am slightly leaning towards that opinion, since I am somewhat of a logical and scientific person. But I cant bring myself to believe it fully.

It could be that the complexity of our human minds have created another meaning to our reaction to these "chemicals". Speaking of destiny, forever, and all that jazz.

But I do feel something more than just a chemical reaction towards my boyfriend. Yes, its one of those school relationships, and my parents think it will never last.
To them, I appear to be an irrational adolesent. But maybe I am

We dated for about four months last year; i enjoyed his company very much, but we had to break up during the summer.
I missed him all through the summer.

When school started again, I felt extremely happy that I could see him again.
We have been dating again for about another 4 months, and I appear (and feel) to love him even more.

Hmmm... i used the word love.
Since I am still a child, Im not quite sure what the true meaning of love is.

So, long story short, to keep this from being to lengthy:
Love is not all a chemical reaction in our bodies.
Its not just a word.
Its also a deep desire for that one person, burning from inside us, embracing, cherishing, sharing, and consoling as well.

Love is to complex for the human imagination to ponder.

it's giving far more than you ever hope to receive!

i believe that true love means to want that person to be happy even if it hurts you or doesn't involve you. so in my opinion all love is, is pain sooner or later the consequences of loving someone will come and bite you in the butt. whether they don't love you anymore, they die, they do something horrible. i know it's really skeptical but when i look at people in love i always think to myself"it will never last" but love is beautifull and i think that it teaches us great things. the last person i loved, my best friend ever who got me through alot decided she couldn't put up with me anymore and f**ked off and it hurt alot for a while but eventually i came to thank her cos if she hadn't of broken my heart i would still be the person i was it gave me the push i needed and completly changed me into a better person. so although i think loveis hurtfull i also think that it is good and it can teach us things and in some cases bring us true enlightenment

Any and all definitions of concepts such as love only take away from its meaning. Just as a sentimental treasure has no numerical value, love has no definitive meaning. It is meaningless in the same way happiness is priceless. Happiness cannot be bought. Love cannot be defined.
If you feel it, you know what it is.
