Love

Love
     We all keep on talking about love and how hard it is to be in love or find that special person but we can never explain what love is. At least I can't! Up till now I have been constantly trying to explain what love is or what it is been like to be in love but i can never properly explain what i feel about love or being in love. Yesterday a friend asked me "When will you know that you are in love?" and I was like I don't know... I always thought that when I'm in love I'll just know it and may be i will but how do you explain what it is? How do you explain the feeling of being in love? You see people falling in love in movies and also you'r friends talking about it but how will you understand it?
     While watching a romantic movie I came to a conclusion about love.  Love is that amazing feeling you have about someone that you just can't express in words. It is the feeling you have about someone that you just can't put in words. You just can't explain how important she is to you. Its not like you will die without her but you might forget to live for a while. I guess when you read this you might think that--yeah i always felt that way about love. Even i always knew that love was something like this but i never understood it completely. Talking so frequently about love had given me a feeling that love was- late night talking, chatting, liking and commenting on every status that has been put up on facebook, staring at the sky together, listening to romantic songs, talking sweetly to someone, caring for someone, being unable to delete someone's message just because its from that person, that beautiful face for which you would cross all limits. But with passing time I have realized that this is love for a 18 year old teenage. As we mature definition of love changes for us or rather saying it becomes clear to us what love actually is.
     The problem with the word love is that we use it so often that we have understated its use. I mean using "I love you" as a passing phrase really brings down the actual value of love. Now a days we say 'love u' so casually after good night that it doesn't even make me feel special or bring a smile on my face. 'Love' is a very special word and when you say it you should actually mean it or don't say it. Its a sacred word to me. A simple 'I love you' actually makes someone's day amazing.
     Using it everywhere and like something that is not meant from heart makes the word 'love' worthless. That is the reason that people don't value the "I love you" phrase that much now a days. In old days when you said "I love you" it was like the best thing that could have ever happened to the person. It was that special. The phrase meant everything to those 'hopelessly romantic fools'. People would wait for their whole life for someone to say that to them. We say it so casually that now a days people actually don't believe when they hear it from someone. The word 'love' has lost all its importance now a days.
