But what is love?; a feeling to have momentatily? a void that is patched up by someones touch? is it a feeling of closeness and genuity? is it an assurance that you cant let go of someone? or does it have a desperate/passionate edge, that one must have in order to live?

another 'feeling' of love i've had is when you 2 people are so alike the other person acts and lives and almost is you at times.
love can be seen as giving of gifts, touch and kind words, that make us feel accepted and desired.
It is most described as a feeling because it is a emotion one gets due to closeness.


But regardless of what aspect of love you have experienced, one has to ask, do any of these attributes of love keep two people together, in a lasting relationship of mutual commitment?
will presents and closeness and even genuineness tie us all together when times get tough??
Or is love a passionate and desperate desire to need someone, without which our living ends? does love require two people to so desperately need each other that nothing can come between them?

We get tired of the presents, closeness, genuity, and maybe the only love that really lasts is one worth fighting for, a dying love, that we fight for desperately.  The same way we need to eat, have breath and need spiritual food through God's word and relationship, we need such a passionate love to live.  Such love requires us to lay down our selfish desires in order to be with someone else, thereby gaining their life and joy. It is a kind of desperate plea for love and live, and giving up ourselves for it.
