Isn't this one of the most popular topics for those who will talk about it? Love is many things to each person as they will interpret it with respect to their individual desires and needs. Of course in writing, many more statements could be added but space is limited so we include those that are most important to us.

Love is an intangible, an emotion - yet so much more.
To be given freely in large quantity for in doing so, it is returned in even more abundance.
Love is of self; for without having such personal concern, love of another is weak and fragile at its very best.
Love is a special caring.
A concern expressed for another extended beyond self need when necessary.
Love is gentle, wishing and doing no harm.
The kiss of sunshine, touch of a cloud, expecting nothing in return of that touch.
Love is an evolution, ever changing, growing,
a learning process for the positive.
Love is freedom for each person to be an individual yet allowing
integration into a single spirit more powerful than the sum of each.
Love is lasting with strength to endure the difficult.
A willingness, wanting to overcome, to be ever better and stronger.
It is a commitment of hearts, one that can exist forever, even when not together.
Love is beautiful from within and between.
It is a radiance of light and warmth for all to see.

Love is to be.......
given
received
shared
