What is love?

First of all, love isn't as complicated as everyone thinks it is. It's as simple as you love, or you don't. Love is a gift that you can give to anybody wether it's you holding the door, or doing an unnoticed thing for someone. Love is going the extra mile for somebody, or even just being nice. God says to love your neighbor, and your neighbor is everyone around you. You are to love everyone, even if they don't love you back. I don't see a reason to be mean to people, what if your just having a bad day? Take a step in that person's shoes, nobody likes to have people be mean to them. A lot of people think that it's about some lame spark between a boy and a girl. It is a spark, but it's also what you do because you have feelings for them. Love doesn't have to be in a romantic relationship either, just a relationship with somebody, which you have with everyone if your a best friend, or just an aquantance. Love is also looking out for the other person, talking about what they want to talk about and making them feel good. Even a warm smile can make people feel better and even change what people think about you. Love is so many different things put all into one. People think that love is just an emotion, but I believe love is so much more than that. It's emotional, physical, and a mental thing. Love can be an amazing thing if you understand what it is, and how wonderful it's potential can be. You'd be suprised at the heights some people reach becuase of how much they care about a person. Make a goal to love, and if you love, you will be loved in return, I guarentee it!

² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
