I looked around me, nothing but laughter, nothing but happiness. My
eyes scanned over the table, at the people that meant the most to me.
My birthday had been the best yet, 'nothing better than being around
your friends on your special days' I seem to recall my mother saying.
I had received many presents, been hugged by many people, enjoyed the
attention, yet there was something; something missing,. As I closed my
eyes I tried to grasp what this feeling was. That day was not the only
day I had been feeling this, but since everyday I could remember;
however, this particular day it was more prevalent than ever before. I
was interrupted by my best friend, "Thank you so much for bringing us
to this restaurant, I love the food."
"It's okay" I replied.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a distinct character approaching me.
I was shocked, as this particular person was "unable to attend". I
smiled, and looked at Alexis, he sat down next to me and said, "This
day is too important to miss, happy birthday" and hugged me. I was
speechless, I tried to say thank you but I was so overwhelmed with
emotion that nothing came out, several seconds later I was still
hugging him, almost unable to let go. He radiated so much warmth, and
momentarily, I disregarded the feeling that had been on my mind all
evening. As I let go of him, he smiled and without knowing I was
smiling back at him. I turned to my friends, they had all stopped
talking and just stared at us, I felt embarrassed yet completely
secure with showing my emotions. The attention then turned to Tina,
who dropped a knife, knocking other items on the table with it, we
laughed at this but I...

...eeted by the same question
by Tina, I whispered back, "not much". I looked at him, knowing that
this night would forever be in my mind, the day I realised that Alexis
was amazing and that we were more than friends, yet I also realised
that he knew what I felt, I felt embarrassed yet I knew that I had
fallen for the right person, and to this day I still believe that my
life changed that day.
As I sit here, recalling the happiest day of my life, the day that I
felt true love, the day that my life felt fulfilled, the day my
previous feelings fell on its head, the day I fell in love with
Alexis. Today, years later, on my twenty sixth birthday, all
my wishes have come true, all with Alexis. Marrying him was just a way
of expressing my love him, and to this day he is still as amazing as
he was on my sixteenth birthday.
mind of a rare, sunny day when I peeked out the window into the yard.
I saw him making his way over to me and I felt my heart begin to race.

What is love? Love has many definitions, which varies from one person to another. One may never know what true love is until it has been experienced. Love is the most amazing, affectionate feeling that can be experienced. According to the Encarta Encyclopedia, love is an emotion that is "explored in philosophy, religion, and literature, often as either romantic love, the fraternal love of others, or the love of God."
Love is what made poetry famous. Everyone from Shakespeare with his sonnets to children with their red roses use poetry to express love. Love is the filling in poetry’s pie, the melody in its symphony, and the pregnancy scare in its soap-opera. In Dante's opinion, not only poetry, but everything is composed of love:
My eyes slowly peaked open and I didn't like what I saw, I saw my crush.
All human beings are the product of love. The first process of your beginning- the conception is a bye product of love. Two people loved each other and then two cells completely mingled with each other, rather lost their individuality to become one. This oneness is only possible through love. Love is the essence of life. Nothing is possible in this world without love.
"I wanna love you and treat you right; I wanna love you every day and every night: We'll be together with a roof right over our heads; We'll share the shelter of my single bed; We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread. Is this love - is this love - is this love - Is this love that I'm feelin'?"--- Bob Marley. Bob Marley wrote and sang about love just like hundreds of people before him. His idea of true love was sharing with someone in order to meet the basic needs and spiritual way of life. The security of a relationship is one important part of a complex number of needs that have to be met for truelove to exist. The Merrian Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, defines “truelove” as “one truly beloved or loving”(1343). The meaning of truelove is not as simple as the dictionary would lead people to think. For the person who has not yet become educated in true love will find themselves on a wonderful quest. The most powerful declaration one can make to another person is a pledge of love. Most individuals will desire the intimate affection that a special someone can provide. Is there such a thing as truelove? Difficult as the answer is to find, many people have ideas about truelove. By comparing ideas of love between women and men, looking at religious love, investigating chemical love, and love in marriage will show what the meaning of true love is today.
Love is not a god as the fine philosophers of Greece once suggested. Love is something far more powerful and universal, for not all people believe in gods, yet people cannot refuse the existence of love. Instead, love is a condition of the human body that cannot be denied. True love is obstinate; in the way that music pours into the ears of an audience, love pouring into the heart of a man cannot be stopped, denied, or set off course. Love is a natural instinct. You cannot artificially make love where there is none or where it does not belong. Yet, the condition of being in love grows independent of all rationale. It grows places where an observer may not understand its existence. Attempting to fight love in such a situation leaves even powerful and noble families, such as the Capulets and Montagues, suddenly powerless. When love takes control of two souls, it takes the lovers on a journey. The journey is the growth of love throughout its many progressive stages. In this way, the growth of love between two people is analogous to the growth and development of a painted masterpiece. A work of art and a bond of love both have distinct stages and characteristics. A painting initially begins with a vision in the mind of the artist. This vision is a perfect vision that the artist will strive to replicate on her canvas. Similarly, love often begins on a visual level based on the physical attractions between two people. The vision of the painter is soon transformed into quick, loose sketches. The pencil freely marks the page; the artist has no control over where it goes, he merely paints. Similarly, lovers have no control over their new feeling of love that has taken over their bodies and rendered them helpless. After an artist has loos...
Love is the most important aspect of human life as we know it. The reasons are because it is one of the only things that can not be bought with any amount of money so it makes it a very scarce resource. If love would have a price tag it would be for an infinite amount of dollars, pounds, or even pesos. Some people live their whole life looking for a " true love" some are lucky and find it. Some live their life la vida loca and have never found the time to find a true love. Others get tired of waiting and get married without love. Love has not changed at all over the course of history and this makes it the most important emotion in the human mind, body and soul.
