Love is finding someone who can put up with your faults and you can put with theirs. Along with a healthy dose of attraction, and respect. I think love is really finding someone you can be dedicated and loyal to. It's a deeper bond than friendship. It's not that stupid "romantic" shit you see in most movies or Romeo and Juliet. Love is a bit more refined than that. After the omg I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE SO AWESOMETASTIC phase is over is when I think real love starts blooming. Sure you still have times like that in a relationship, but it isn't always omg I want to sweep you off your feet we must be romantic and watch the stars as the tears of angels fall upon us, oh how I love they let me count the ways. Or that hot crazy maddening feeling, that's more so the symptoms of infatuation. I guess to me, love is like the feeling you'd have towards your most trusted/best friend that you'd do anything in the world for, enjoy fucking, and want to spend the rest of your life with that person because you could care less about having another person's company in that way.
