This is the Meaning of Love

“

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

When I saw you, I was afraid to meet you. When I met you, I was afraid to kiss you. When I kissed you, I was afraid to love you. When I loved you, I was afraid to lose you.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness - Woody Allen

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to - letting a person be who he really is.

Love is a journey

Before others told me of love, and how it felt, and I thought it to be a confusing thing. “Why love, when you get hurt?” I asked one of them before, and they responded with, “Why hurt, when you can love?” Now I realize that in love, it’s not just the end result that matters, but also the journey that gets you there.
