I hear people talking or singing about being in love. I am pretty sure it's solely a biological reaction for procreation but some people insist there is more to it. Emotional or biological, it's an entirely foreign concept to me and would like an explanation.
I think I feel a twinge of something when I go to the folks house and I get to see the dog and how excited he is to see me. The way we look into each other's eyes right before he grabs one of his toys and runs outside just might be love. Also I was listening to David Bowie a few weeks ago and I had such an emotional reaction to a song I thought my heart might explode. Is that love?
Well, I can tell you it usually ends up with your heart feeling like it's been ripped out, stomped on, and replaced upside down. That's about all I know.

I like what Frank Zappa had to say about this:
"I detest 'love lyrics'. I think one of the causes of the bad mental health in the United States is that people have been raised on 'love lyrics.'
You're a young kid and you hear all those 'love lyrics,' right? Your parents aren't telling the truth about love, and you can't really learn about it in school. You're getting the bulk of your 'behavior norms' mapped out for you in the lyrics to some dumb f***ing love song. It's a subconscious training that creates a desire for an imaginary situation which will never exist for you. People who buy into that mythology go through life feeling that they got cheated or something."
Love is the most intense, incredible feeling I've ever experienced. It's the butterflies in my stomach everytime I look into his eyes and the complete and utter feeling of wholeness that I have when we are together.
I also don't think love is fleeting. I hear people so many times say they thought they were in love or they used to be in love. How do you fall out of love with someone you were truly in love with? I just don't think it happens. I'm not saying you have to be head over heels 10 years after a relationship ends, but there should still be something there, I think.
Well spinx, I think that sometimes people mistake what they are feeling for love, so they say that they were in love or fell out of love or whatever. It's one of those things you don't know until you know, ya know lol?

It's official then, I love my mom's dog and David Bowie.

Dang, do we know each other? You took the words right out of my mouth.
I think love occurs when you want and are willing to work toward someone else's happiness. You feel joy when good things happen to them and sadness when they're in despair.
