Love, what is it?

What is love? Many people believe that love is magical with princes and princesses, but it is not. Love has its ups and downs. Love is having a special friendship with someone you care about. It is also trusting that person and standing by them through tough times. Love is wanting to be with that person for whom they are. One thing I have learned is love is not perfect. If you deeply love someone, you love them even though they are imperfect. Love is something you feel towards someone. Love can make you overwhelmed with happiness and a cheerfully. Most important to me is, love gives us strength. It is the strength to let ourselves trust someone enough to fall in love with that person in the first place.
