Alas I forgot to write yesterday, and I almost forgot to today. Well here I am again.... My definition of love is - tada! That's a really difficult definition to articulate because for me love is felt and true emotions are some of the hardest to formalize into words. Here's my attempt: Love is going an inch to please someone you love, not a mile but an inch. See an inch is much more doable, but sometimes we forget to live in the small moments of the present...we reach so far in the future. That inch right now is a step closer to the miles we have to go down the road. Love is crying because the one you love is crying or hurting just as much as they are. It isn't your pain, but it's a shared pain nonetheless. Love is respecting that person everyday in any way you can without even realizing what you're doing - it's become second nature. Love is telling that person the truth without being intentionally hurtful even when they don't want to hear it & occasionally telling them a little white lie (and they know you are) just to make them happy in that moment. Love is not always knowing what to say, but always knowing what to do.
