What is Love?

Inspired by a recent chain e-mail (yes, I hate them too... but this one was actually really cool) about the meaning of love as defined by a group of 8 year-olds, we sort of started defining love in our own words. I started thinking of one of my favourite movie quotes about love, from 'Music From Another Room' with Jude Law:

Q:What is love like?
A:'You know how when you're listening to music playing from another room? And you're singing along because it's a tune that you really love? When a door closes or a train passes so you can't hear the music anymore, but you sing along anyway... then, no matter how much time passes, when you hear the music again you're still in exact same time with it. That's what it's like.'

In the words of Clovergirl:
"Love is: giving more presents than you get, listening to someone even when you're not interested, asking more questions about them than they ask you, giving massages even when your hands hurt, lending a book even when you think they'll fold the pages over and bend the spine, being totally honest even when it hurts, adoring someone even when they say silly things, not correcting them when they use bad grammar, and giving hugs even when they have BO."

And my own:
"Love is someone who drops everything because you need a friend, someone who doesn't consult a calendar to make time for you. Love is going out for a meal and sharing food off each other's plates. It is doing something you REALLY don't want to because you know it will mean something to someone and SMILING while you do it. Love is wiping someone else's tears away when your own cheeks are still wet with your own. Love is seeing what someone CAN be and believing that they will become that, no matter how far they are from it. But mostly, love is knowing that no matter what the distance or time that passes between you, when you see each other again you will pick up right where you left off."

So come on... anyone have some other ideas?
