I'm unsure if love can be defined but quite sure I cannot do so myself; I wonder though, is it something that needs to be defined or is it enough to simply feel it, experience and cherish it?

Love sometimes feels like longing to me and longing can feel sad. When I'm not with the person I love I miss them and long for them and the inability to be with that person right in the moment, express how I feel in verbal and non-verbal ways tinges thoughts of them with sadness. It's funny though, because when that sadness seeps in so do happy thoughts of him so that longing sort of allows the love in I guess and soon chases away the melancholy - and that fills my heart and soul with joy.
I cannot recall the moment in which I fell in love but I knew I was in love the moment I felt fear of not having that person in my life - and that's when I embraced the longing, and love.
There's plenty to capture a person's focus and attention in the world right now but I don't think there's enough love; should each of us add a little more into our day, share it with those around around us, I believe the world we live in would be a much nicer place.
