Who Knows What Love Is
by: Lady Jupiter
-------------------------------------------
Love by definition: Intense affection for another arising out of
kinship or personal ties.
*********************LOVE***********************
Who knows what love is? Who is to say what love is? How can
you tell when someone loves you? People say they love other people,
make a vow of it, a promise, but then get divorced and breaks it.
Can you give and take back love just like personal items? Like
choosing for a car? If you love someone, can you change your mind
and say you don't? You can't take back love, no matter how hard you
try. No matter how hard you try, it still comes back in the same
form, or in another form.
If he holds you when you're cold, is that love? If he hugs
and holds you when you are feeling sad, does he love you? How many
kinds of love are there in the world? There are as many kinds of
love as there are people. You have mom love, and dad love, and
sister love, then brother love, then cousin love, aunt love, uncle
love, friend love, boyfriend love, girlfriend love, pet love, puppy
love, and many more others.
He tries not to cry when he's afraid he might lose me. Is
that love? When someone cries for you, cries when they think you
will be gone? I once stepped on a butterfly and it died. I cried
for hours, for the dead butterfly. Yet, I did not love it. I cried
for it and didn't love it.
He lets me win when we play games, even though he doesn't
admit it when I ask him. Is that love? I can set the computer to
let me win when we are playing cards, but yet, the computer does not
love me and I do not love it.
When I cry, he holds me to him and kisses my tears away. Is
that love? I once held a crying baby, my neighbor's child when they
were away. I kissed it's tears away and made it stop crying. But I
did not love the baby. I was babysitting it, but I did not love it.
He get's mad at himself that he can't make me feel better if
I feel blue. Is that love? I get mad at myself if I can't do a math
problem and show it to the teacher. I don't love the teacher. I
want to please her, but I don't love her.
In a crowded room, our eyes always seem to meet, no matter
how many people and the distractions, we always drift together. Is
that love? Two magnets are attracted to each other and drift
together if placed floating in water. They do not love each other.
But yet, as I think, I know what love is to me. It's when
someone calls you in the middle of the night because they had a
feeling you were down, and they were right. When they come right
over with hot chicken soup if they hear you are sick. When they go
out of their way, just to "bump" into you. When they're there to
hold your hand when you are afraid.
Everytime I look into the deep blue eyes of his, I drown in
the depths. I can see shadows in his eyes, rays of sunlight bouncing
off in yellow specks, see his eyes twinkle when he's laughing. When
he holds me, he magically makes all the hurt go away, making me feel
like a princess.
I realize what love is. I realize that Ken loves me and that
I love him. If that isn't love, then what is? I would be happy just
with what Ken and I have right then.
*********************LOVE***********************
What is love? Is love the same as trust? Or does one thing
lead to the other? If you love someone, do you learn to trust them,
or do you love someone because you trust them? Would I love someone
I didn't trust? Would she love me if she couldn't trust me? Is
trust a totally different thing from love?
A wise man once said, "Before you love someone, you better
like them."
Because no one instantly sees someone they love, it's
dangerous to follow your heart if you are unsure. Nothing happens
like in the movies. If you love someone before you start to even
like them, it is doubtful if it lasts. Is love based on friendship?
You can love your friends, but that is a different kind of love. The
one you love might also be your best friend. Is that the same kind
of love?
When she runs to me and buries her head in my chest, her body
wracked with sobs and trembling, she's looking for something she
knows I will always give her, my love. She knows that I try all that
I can to sheild her from harm. I try everything in my will to make
sure that no one hurts her more than she already is.
How can I put in words how much I love her? I don't care if
the Earth never turns again, if the sun never dawns again, if the
moon dissapeared, if the stars didn't sparkle anymore. I'd be happy
just as long as she's here with me. Yet, I cannot say that I'd be
happy if the flowers, and trees were gone, as long as she's here. I
can't say that because then she wouldn't be happy. I know she loves
trees, flowers, loves sitting with them, just looking at them. When
she doesn't see that, I know she's hurting.
Whenever I see her, see her smile, I smile inside, knowing
she's happy. Her eyes light up my life. Her green eyes that reflect
from the deepest green, to the lightest. Looking into her eyes, I
can see what she's feeling. I can see what's hurting her. When she
hurts, in my bones I can even feel it. Is that what love is? When
you know the person you love is hurting inside?
She's like sunlight to me, and I am the flower. The flower
that wilts without sunlight, real sunlight, not the fake ones that
you can buy at the store for a dollar. No cheap burn-out bulbs for
this flower. Only the best. And she's the best for me.
I wish that she could understand all she means to me. She
makes me happy when she's just next to me. I would risk my life ten
times over for hers. Not any of the money in the world could buy her
smile. Her spunk, her spirit. I love her the way she is and would
never try to change her.
Everytime I look at her, feel her hand reaching for mine, I
realize how much she means to me, how much her life impacts mine and
how much I love her. If that isn't love, then I hope I never find
out what love is. Because to me, Lita is love. She's my love and I
love her.
*********************LOVE***********************
Despite if we love them, hate them or just plain don't like
them, we can't help it. Because for one day in our lives, they're
everything in the world to us and we're everything in the world to
them. For one 360 rotation of the Earth, we are the only people on
the planet, and we can't live without each other. Then, the magic is
broken, the Earth continues to turn and other people come in. But we
remember for one day, we were everything to each other....

Just a short little snippet I wrote up in my spare time so I would
have an excuse not to do work. I was in that sappy writting mood so
I just put it on pen and paper. This is actually what love means to
me, so don't laugh. I'm old fashioned and a romanacist still. You
should see what I write when I'm in my bad moods. Ecghh! I guess I
would dedicate this to the one person I hate in the world for making
me go through what I did and come up with this story. It's true,
from pain comes reward. Well, I guess this is my reward.
SAILOR MOON OTAKU'S OF THE WORLD, UNITE!
"On behalf of Jupiter, I shall write to right wrongs and
triumph over evil. With my friends, Sailor Venus, Mars, Mercury
and Moon. We'll make the world a better place for all people!"
