Love - what is it? How do you describe it?

[yhilres]

Hi all,
This may appear like an odd thread but i have been wondering what love is and how best to describe it?
You have love for family members and even animals, but love for your chosen partner is different - this love has no boundaries, no colour, no religion, no anything - yet it is powerful enough to stop a person and leave them for dead.
Why are we afected like this? - do we ask for this to happen? - do we need to be dependant on someone else? What are the signs to say you are in love? how do you know this is love or just lust or a desire?
And finally - i challenge anyone to describe how they feel when they are in love

Mark, r u n love now? I think i kno the lucky girl.

Anyway, you're asking 'bout what love is? I think if you have it (love), you don't need to have anything else. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have...

But the best to describe love, is ds: Love is like a bubble gum, kung mopilit makabuang(ask maria to translate this)
