What is love?

What is love? Love is truly a mystery. Physical beauty is not the sole criteria. Ask a lover about why he/she loves her beloved and you will never get a logical answer. They can never tell you what is the reason behind their love.
Love does not measure qualities, nor sets any standards. In love, you should not think about whether you are on the giving end or the taking end. Giving always gives more pleasure in love than anything else. Loving allows us to put the needs and desires of our lover before our own needs and desires.
If you love someone then you should know that t is about understanding, caring, forgiving, forgetting. giving, doing and sacrificing.  Also it is not just about wanting them; it’s about wanting them to be happy. It’s not about wanting to possess or control them; it’s about wanting to save them from bad stuff to happen.
Love is also forgiving and understanding of the fact that we are all humans and we do make mistakes. There are many imperfections in a loving relationship, but the difference is that those imperfections are understood, accepted, and forgiven when they cause hurt. This is a true sign of true love and forgiveness is one of the deepest forms of love that can be expressed.
Loving someone is not as easy as we think. We have to forget ourselves for loving someone. We have to dedicate ourselves to them. We have to be ready to be with them in every thick and thin. We give them unconditional care. We try to give them whatever they want without any selfish motive. If there is any need we are ready to sacrifice for them, even our love.
Everybody has the right to love but one or two out of ten are able to do love. Most of the people by mistake think their infatuation is their love. Infatuation may be because of physical attraction, same thinking pattern or same aim. But infatuation does not go for long. As soon as we find a better person we again fall in infatuation.
