in my opinion, i think some of the definitions and synonyms are wrong. how can love be the same as like? love is sooo much more than that. i guess love can't really be described. i think love is different to every person. to me, guy-girl love is a feeling for a person that makes you wanna do everything for the person, give your all to the person (self sacrifice), you want the person to be happy no matter what. loving yr family and friends is always being there for them and stuff like that. i don't know...maybe my definition is wrong or i am really bad at describing it. all i know is that love is forever and i am aboslutely positive abt that.

+ AMEN
