You know it's the one the moment your eyes meet and lock. And it is far and away a huge difference from lusting after someone. It's knowing that you are connected and nothing can change that. It is love in a deeper form because of that connection. Some people don't understand it, some don't believe it exists, or others wish it did.
Or is it something achieved over years of time, something that changes from lust to love, a mixture of lust and respect, someone under glass that isn't perfect but has undeniable qualities that keep you in aw?
for the lucky (or deserving... however you look at it) ones

Well, sierraAZ, I speak from first hand experience. Not trying to sound mushy, but this is what actually happened to me or us - we just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. And, to top it off, we work together, too. :-)

Wow, that's impressive - particularly working together, too... Good for you!
I still believe you're more the exception than the rule in those instant deals, though.
many definitions of what love is, but i like this one in particular
" Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you." - Dr Wayne Dyer
he also said "love is the art of giving. it ask nothing in return". i have had the pleasure of being involved with a young mother of 6. she taught me many lessons on unconditional love. it's so beautiful to feel that kind of love and to give that kind of love

I don't think the OP had maternal and paternal love in mind.
This is a blog I posted, and a bit of why I Know Love:
I was sick as a dog a few days ago, couldn't get out of bed, couldn't even keep water down, you know how that goes.
I felt so bad, I couldn't even think straight, so my boyfriend took care of business for me. He made phone calls for me, made sure my dog was walked, and came up to bed to rub my tummy and see if I needed anything.
Later, when I was able to navigate myself from my bed upstairs to the sofa downstairs, he reassured me that all of the household chores would be done and to just lay down and relax. Then he cooked a sicky-appropriate meal of eggs and dry toast, and urged me to get something in my stomach, if possible.
The gentle tone of voice, the caring, the easing of my mind while my body tried to recuperate, truly made me feel loved.

unconditional love is not restricted to mom and pop
