Is it really love?

"Love is blind", "love can conquer all", "love is everything" these are the most common answer you will get when asking people to define love. But lets face it, this are just mere phrases where love is being used and not a solid definition of the said expression.
It is also a fact that definition of love varies from person to person depending on the individual who defines it, but one thing is sure, that love is really different from infatuation or mere admiration.
I asked many of my friends who have a gf/bf of what they feel towards their partner, and most of them answered they love them and they cannot live without their partner (this makes me laugh) :). But all of those happy and high moments with your mate will soon end for it is probable that you only felt that infatuation mentioned above, and when that time comes words of despair and regrets will flow out of your mouth and it is likely that you will curse that person who leaved you. I can't blame you for feeling that way because of the time and affection you dedicated to that person, but I can somehow tell you that it is a result of your misinterpretation. Because at the end of everyday, the situation you are in is a result of your past actions.
For most couples I had asked, when they met their lifetime partner they narrated that things were all of the sudden and unexpected. The saying love moves in mysterious way is really a thought in action for it is true also to my parents.Paring two persons who seems to be the exact opposite of the other but continue to love and prosper as they traverse they roads towards life. The best example I can give you are my parents, my father is kinda clumsy, very generous (to the highest level), but very sensitive when it comes to emotional things while my mother is very firm, having a tight grip to material things, wise and somehow not expressive when it comes to her feelings. Try also to compare the attitudes and traits of your parents or other couples you know and you will understand how love works. But for the meantime your not engage or married, be very tactful in things you do especially in making decisions that involve affection towards another person.
