Oh my K1m, so many have tried to qualify, quantify, define love, I tried hard once and this was the only definition that made sense to me:

Love is a situational comfort, habituated over the dimension of time.

But when boiled down, I really don't think there is an answer that will satisify. I do know that looking for the romance novel or movie version of love has driven many crazy, cause it is a fantasy like the books or movies themselves.

This was a very good poem, I found it a joy to read and thought provoking. Thank you so much for sharing it...jinx
