First of all ,i agree with all the above answers.Because everyones interpretation is different and everyone is true. “Love” its meaning is vast,May be endless.Who can define it completely ? I think I cant .May all of us try .I think the most perfect one can define it completely.Who is he ? GOD .In my view ,it is a 4 letter word easy to say which cannot be described in words.A word full of meanings,feelings and gives happiness.It’s a source of pleasure and pain.. A word which I understands ,you understands and anyone understands.Most beautiful word.Most wonderful of all things in life. Without it we cannot live.It is a silence yet telling thousand words.Its also an invisible gift to someone.It gives meaning to everything in the world.It may be surrendering .Sometimes it is to care and make the others happy rather than yourself Everybody wants it,seeks it ,but luckyones gets it. Some things we are unable to describe. Yet,I like these quotes. "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."--Aristotle "Love is the beauty of the soul."--St. Augustine "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."--Helen Keller "In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing."--Mignon McLaughlin "Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essense."--Vincent van Gogh (i am not going to religious verses) Everywhere it is interpreted differently.We can write books .But we will not be satisfied.So we ask this question frequently.

i really enjoyed it .thanks for giving italki and me such a wonderful poem.But it was not the answer for my question.I can put similar poems or quotes ,Wikipedia references through out the week.i already said we can write books by refering somewhere.But to what extent?i also find in them.can you tell ,whichone is excact or correct and complete one and if we know that it is correct ,then why all the above answers are different? this poem is written by a human ,is he/she perfect ? do you think that this include every meaning? i also writes poems,you can write poems about love.i agree with your answer like all other answers.You find love in this poem ,i find it in everywhere.

I found this poetry by chance...maybe that's the best answer for your question~~~wish you enjoy it ! 《The meaning of love》 To those who love someone or be loved It hurt to love some one and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they’ll love you back. Don’t expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart. But if it doesn’t, be content it grew in yours. Love comes to those who still hope, although they have been disappointed; to those who sill belive, although they have been betrayed; to those who still love, although they have been hurt before. It takes only one minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth, even that fade away. Go for someone who makes you smile, Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. To love someone is to let those who we love be just themselves. And not twist them with our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

I'm starting to hate this question. Many people have ask this already. Love is anything you can't be without.

meaningless and boring... who cares? i think its just chemical. T.T
