There are many ways in which we can express and feel love but what is love?

How do you put into words something that affects us all? That is the greatest motivation on earth, that defines us as human beings and helps us to grow. Love is a powerful word, but it is not just a word it is also a verb, a feeling, and a way of life.

Love is beautiful.

There are many types of love that we feel throughout our lives, the love of your mother, a friend, your family, the love of god but to find love with another is rate. For the greatest of loves is the one we get to share. For a life shared in love is a life full of love.

When you love someone, you wish nothing but the best for them, to see them happy. Hence why love is a verb because it is an action as well as a thought. When your loved ones are sick, you wish for them to feel better, when they are sad you wish only for joy. When they are lonely your words become their warm embrace. For to love another you must come together.

“Love isn’t something you find. Love is something that finds you.” Loretta Young

I often wonder how out of all the people on earth two people find that love. The universe is vast and the vibrations we send out have an impact on what we do so imagine the impact it has on another. Imagine the impact it has on you. Two people, two minds, two souls two hearts come together as one and what creates the foundation of our very existence to ‘love’ and to do better.

Love makes us better. It is the very thing that makes us want to be better, act better and do better. For love has no boundaries, it is limitless and timeless.

“You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.” Oscar Wilde

Love is……

Love is not jealous, malicious, or cold but deep understanding, forgiveness, and a best friend to

hold.

I will sit with you in silence just for you to know that I am there.

I will walk with you when you are alone.

I will hear your voice among the noise, and I will be there to support you when you are not strong.

I will turn those tears into laughter, those moments into happy ever after

for to love is to share and to share is to care

but most of all ‘Love is’ I get to share it with you, for real love after all is extremely rare.

You light up my soul and I am happy you are there.
