Diamond, OH USA I would define love as a mutual energy given by two people that makes life a little easier and tolerable. There is no stress, hate, or jelousy in love. It is pure and undescribable. Stephanie, 24
TX USA Love is feeling of total selflessness...a willingness to give up what makes YOU happy if the person you love can be happy. Reba, 50

Preston, CT USA Love is a special feeling inside you, unique to every person. Every person, once they discover what this feeling feels like, can experience love all the time...be it love for a person, animal, beautiful place, emotional thought, etc. Everyone experiences love in MANY different ways, it's just that some people haven't opened their eyes to it and sadly some people never will! Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA I suppose it would be caring more about their happiness (whether human or creature) than your own. Mick, 30

Los Angeles, CA USA Defining things gets me into trouble--just ask Solomon or Allison. Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames, IA USA Love in it's purest form is the most amazing feeling in the world. It's when you're sharing your total being with this other person whom you can't imagine life without, who you can't stop thinking about and whose flaws you seem to totally ignore. It's when you find yourself doing strange, crazy things to just try and see them or talk to them and you Natalia Personally I don't think you can define love... you just know what it is and what it feels like when you experience it. Jeremy, 13
Highlands Ranch, CO USA Love is a crazy feeling you can't define. Savannah Why should I attempt to define it when the poets do it so much better than I do? Amy, 23

Baton Rouge, LA USA Love is only what you let it mean to you. It's an emotion and doesn't really have a definition. I do believe, though, that it exists in its purest form when it is a mutual feeling. Eric, 18
