To me, love is not a simple emotion.
It is not a clear-cut feeling that one can define simply.
Love is a mixture of emotions that can be very volatile when expressed
To the wrong people at the inappropriate time.
We all have different views on what is "true love".
I believe that true love does not completely exist,
Since we use the word "love" over and over again without any real meaning.
Love can be something quite special in a person's life,
But it does not solve the problems that can occur from it.
In some cases it does not always bring happy feelings,
Since it can convey more pain than it is really worth.
In our lives, we share many loves in our brief existance.

There are all kinds of love---
The pleasant and caring feelings for a member of the family.
The personal attachment of a dear friend.
The tender, passionate, affection of the one-you are willing to spend the rest of your life, together.
Or even the sexual desire and/or gratification of someone you share a few fleeting moments in time.
Love is never the cure for all that ails you-in life!
