A Memoir of Feelings

Adoration

I wouldn't call it infatuation; I'd much rather call it love.

Love. What is love? According to the dictionary, love can mean many different things:

-To have a great affection for a person or thing

-To have a passionate desire for someone

-An intense emotion of affection towards a person or thing

-A deep feeling of sexual attraction

Love is also a word many use to describe their beloved other-half or someone they dearly care about.

Love is an international language; by language I don't mean in terms of words, but instead actions. Thus, love is a metaphorical language that can be spoken or shown through the actions of a person, towards another person. Why do I say this? Simple. The words I love you may be pronounced differently in various parts of the world, but the way you express them, is the same, in every country – don't fight me on this. See, the way you show someone you love them can vary from little things – like hugging/kissing them or writing letters – to big things – like taking them away on a holiday or buying them an 8-carrett ring.

Now, don't get me wrong; when I said the way you express love is the same in every country, I didn't mean that if someone who has great amounts of money buys their partner an expensive diamond ring, you have to go out and follow suit – no no, that's not what I meant at all. What I really mean is this; yes, the social concepts of how to express your love for someone may be equal in most countries but this doesn't mean that you can't have your own, unique way of saying I love you.
