This warm and fuzzy feeling...my god that sounds clichéd. It’s so overwhelming sometimes! It will literally take your breath away, you just can’t believe that this happening to you. When I’m with him, I feel perfect. I feel like I am flawless. Wow, it’s corny, ain’t it? But I’m trying my best. Love...lovelovelove, the word crawls up from your gut into your windpipe when you’re around that one person and just sits there, making it hard to say anything but

I LoveYou

Even just to clear your throat.

In French they say amour, in German Liebe, in Italian amore, in any language they all boil down to the same thing: LOVE. But what exactly is love?
According to dictionaries and encyclopedias love is...
1. To feel tender affection for somebody
2. To feel desire physically and emotionally for somebody
3. To like something very much
4. To show kindness to somebody
5. To have sex with somebody
But surely some can apply without the others! Love is a complex thing to understand, let alone define but one thing is certain, whether in France, Germany, or Italy, love is love.
