What does the word "Love" mean to you.

Many time and days, I have always wondered, what truly is love or what does love mean to one person at a time, what I see as love, is it the same as what the fellow person also see as love. Some acts of love that are done by others, some people might see it as normal because they have already taken love or the act of love for granted.

I have loved and have been loved, but it got to a point in life that I don't understand what love is all about, can you love someone and be with another person? Do you claim to love a person and yet ignore the person and give another one attention? Is that love?

Many people just use the word "LOVE" so causally, they would say "I love you" do you mean those words, if yes then you won't do what will hurt the person you claim you love.

I have loved

When a person truly loves you, you need no prophet or angel to tell you that this person loves you. Love is in deeds and not just in words, love is how you care, the attention you give, and the words that come out of your mouth at a point in time. When I love, I love fully and not have way, I give my all into the person, I do care of I'm not getting the love I'm giving, because you can't be giving and not getting anything in return, now this kind of love I spoke about here is the one that exists between people in a serious relationship. When I'm showing love to the less privileged I expect nothing from them but their happiness.

I have lost love before

This was a long time ago, I once loved a girl, I can say my first love, after all the love I showed, in deeds but never in words, she still seem not to understand, then one day I sermon up the courage and tell her in words, it was a beautiful but dreadful night for me, oh lord, I was insulted, I never knew it was a one-sided love, I felt cheated on, I felt betrayed, it broke me, and I lost love. I found love again and after a year and a few months, the first girl I dated, we had to end things mutually for our sake then I lost love. It was hard to love again, it was a word I didn't want to hear, it was like "Love was a scam" anytime I saw a man or woman telling themselves, "I love you" I would just laugh at the joke. To me, no relationship that stood on love, even the love my parent showed me, I didn't believe in it. I saw everyone as an enemy that was trying to use me. At that time, LOVE meant nothing to me.

I found love

In this evil world where everything is upside down, where people are waiting for the opportunity to harm the person next to them, where people gather together to plan evil for others, in this same world where a person will carry a gun to a place and shoot down innocent people claiming their life, in this world, LOVE STILL EXIST, I thought there was nothing like love again, but love still exists I just fail to notice it or I chose to ignore it, my parent love me, my siblings love me, at my place of work and my friends love me, I started to understand what love means, the question of "If I die today, who would cry or remember me" was taken out of my mind.

In conclusion

My friends and readers in readcash, yes, love do exist, though it might be hard to find but look deeper, look within you, and you would find it there, many people have given love different meaning but let the meaning you're giving to love be what love truly stands for, if you have given up on love, give it a try again.
