What is love?

Another version of Bobette Bryan's poem:

It's love....

When he's late you picture him running up to you and wished he'd hurry up.

When you watch a sport that you don't really care for but you're willing because he enjoys watching it in your company.

When he gets tired shopping, but he'll go shopping because he'll help you pick out your clothes, shoes and lingerie.


When he does something stupid and you don't think the worst of him afterwards.

When he does something that upsets you, he understands and does everything to cheer you up by being there after being absent.

When you have news and he's the first person you tell in person or call to share it with.

When after the KO'dragged out fight of the decade, you forgive each other in the end.

When you've gone through many major life crisis and find when he's not only there through it, but remains there to give you further support, love and happiness.

When despite what life usually throws at you- bills, car repairs, family crisis and loss of friends and materials, the passionate flame continues to burn.

When he thinks you're sexy first thing with your smelly morning breath and dishevelled appearance.

When there's commitment and comprehension beyond words that only and you and he will ever get.

When the only thing you want is to lie there in his company in silence and you're happy to cuddle up together.

When at the beginning of each day you still feel loved.






within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

My rough translation of a Pinoy love martyr's song
You're welcome to fix

I love you more than ever, much more than before
Mas mahal na kita ngayon, higit pa kesa noon
I love more now and all day
Mas mahal nakita ngayon, at sa habang panahon
I don’t care about the past
Wala akong pakialam sa'king nakaraan
Even when I become a laughing stock
Kahit na ako'y pinagtatawanan
What matters is that I love you more than before because
Ang mahalaga'y mas mahal na kita ngayon
Dahil...
You’re no longer pushing me down the stairs
Di mo na'ko tinutulak sa'ting hagdanan
You aren’t putting poison in my food
Di mo na nilalagyan ng lason ang ulam
And at night when I’m fast asleep
At sa gabi pag ako'y tulog nang mahimbing
You aren’t covering me with a pillow
Di mo na ako tinatakpan ng unan
You aren’t pushing my face in the cooker
Di mo na sinusubsob ang mukha ko sa kalan
You aren’t kicking me upfront
Di mo na'ko sinisipa sa'king harapan
And my chest is smoother
At mas makinis na rin ang balat sa dibdib
Because you aren’t cursing me anymore
Dahil hinding hindi mo na'ko pinakukulam
I don’t feel the aches and pains that I went through before
Ang hapdi at kirot ng sinapit ko noon
I don’t feel anymore because I love you more than before
Di ko na ramdam pagkat mas mahal na kita ngayon
Mas mahal na kita ngayon
Don’t ask questions
Wag ka nang magtatanong

Basta't mahal na kita ngayon
I surely love you now
Yan ang lagi kong tugon
Even when you don’t see or feel

Kahit di mo nakikita o nararamdaman
My smile is out of place
Ang aking tuwa ay walang paglagyan
I only know that I love you more because
Ang alam ko lang mas mahal na kita ngayon
Dahil...
You aren’t feeding me the cat’s food
Di mo na pinapakain ng para sa pusa
You aren’t squeezing the stye my eyes
Di mo na pinipitik ang mata ng pigsa
And when you say about my haircut you say it’s nice
At pag sinabi o sa'king gupit ko'y maganda
Your laugh isn’t as loud
Di na masyadong malakas ang iyong tawa
You aren’t making me sniff pepper
Di mo na'ko pinasisinghot ng paminta
You aren’t putting ants in my ear
Di mo na nilalagyan ng langgam sa tenga
I no longer see blood
Hindi na kulay dugo ang aking paningin
Because my eye is no longer cut with blade
Dahil hindi na hinihiwa ng blade sa mata
Ang hapdi at kirot ng sinapit ko noon
Di ko na ramdam pagkat mas mahal na kita ngayon
Ang mahalaga'y mas mahal na kita ngayon
Dahil...
You aren’t telling stories that I’m a sadist
Di mo na kinukwentong satanista ako
And my mother was by one maligned person
At ang nanay ko'y nireyp ng isang maligno
The swelling on my head has reduced
Nabawasan na rin ang bukol sa ulo
Because you’re no longer smacking me with a tube
dahil hindi mo na'ko pinapalo ng tubo
And you don’t throw me out without anything
di mo na pinapalayas ng nakahubo
You’re no longer making me wash with water that’s just boiled
Di mo na pinapaligo ng bagong kulo
I’m a little less deaf looking
Medyo hindi na rin ako nagmumukhang bungo
Because you aren’t donating my blood
Dahil hindi mo na dinodonate ang aking dugo
Ang hapdi at kirot ng sinapit ko noon... howohuwohuwo
(di ko na ramdam pagkat mas mahal na kita ngayon)
Wherever you are I love you more than before
Kahit nasan ka man mas mahal na kita ngayon
You’re so cute it's fitting for you to be in your coffin
Ang cute mo naman bagay ka sa iyong... ATAUL...
(sigh) Thanks
Hay salamat!

Janey,

These 3 weeks been questiong that. I thougth my love will keep it strong for the both of us. Never happen. To fully trust one person and in the end find out all the lies and deceit. So, the main factor is don't want to hurt ever...

Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

Underneath it all you're just a big softie. It's just once bitten twice shy. I was like that in the beginning.

hahaha you got it Zaki.

I always end up thinking of this song when this question is brought up.

I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now!
I got to know - got to know - got to know now!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you - I wanna love and treat - love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.

Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Wo-o-o-oah! Oh yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!
Yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!

Perhaps you need a break from loving 'te to give you time to heal.

My rough English translation of I love you more than ever song since the Tagalog words won't appear yet. For the martyrs of love out there.

I love you more than ever, much more than before
I love more now and all day
I don’t care about the past
Even when I become a laughing stock
What matters is that I love you more than before because
You’re no longer pushing me down the stairs
You aren’t putting poison in my food
And at night when I’m fast asleep
You aren’t covering me with a pillow
You aren’t pushing my face in the cooker
You aren’t kicking me upfront
And my chest is smoother
Because you aren’t cursing me anymore
I don’t feel the aches and pains that I went through before
I don’t feel anymore because I love you more than before
Don’t ask questions
I surely love you now
Even when you don’t see or feel any reponse

My smile is out of place
I only know that I love you more because
You aren’t feeding me the cat’s food
You aren’t squeezing the stye in my eye
And when you say about my haircut you say it’s nice
Your laugh isn’t as loud
You aren’t making me sniff pepper
You aren’t putting ants in my ear
I no longer see blood
Because my eye is no longer cut with blade
You aren’t telling stories that I’m a sadist
And my mother was by one maligned person
The swelling on my head has lessened
Because you’re no longer smacking me with a tube
And you don’t throw me out without anything
You’re no longer making me wash with water that’s just boiled

Love is an abstract idea that defies explanation or being categorically defined. It is a human construct; thus people feel the need to attach definitions or descriptions to it. It is similar to the concept of time - unfathomable and indistinct but our minds feel the need to grasp something solid and concrete and thus we segment time into nice, easily portionable pieces. It really isn't that simple, but until we can access the untapped 90% of our mental acuity then it makes it easier to think of it that way. But I am not really answering your question, Jane...

People often think of love as something good and constructive, and they are partly correct. However, there are fewer things more destructive than love as well. In of itself, love is neither, it simply is. As ZeroMaxx has opined, love is love. No more, no less.

It amuses me when people say that love is a universal force - it far more limited than that. It is limited to this world ( until such time as we actually find proof of other inhabited worlds ) so how can it be of a universal scope? Even then it is limited to sentient beings, as animals do not feel love. They are driven by instinct, as we all are. The difference is that we have reason - maybe love cannot exist without our rationale for it...makes you wonder that perhaps we cannot love unless we can think..

I think people want to know what love is because it would make it easier to find and to keep. It is certainly a rare commodity nowadays, and the ones who have it value it more than anything in the world. Unfortunately, love isn't parceled out as easily as we would hope - otherwise the world would be a far lovelier place in which to live. I think the best one can hope for is to have an idea of what love is, or a glimpse, and just go from there. Love is ever-evolving, and ever-changing, and so we must remain adaptable and fluid with it.

Hah, napahaba tuloy ito. At least you know na ako talaga ito Jane...I doubt anyone could be as verbose as I, haha

My will is unbreakable. Simply put, I cannot be broken - Enrique

I like the definition kuya thanks for sharing.

Yes focusing on the good is great, but... don't want to be blinded by it either if there are major problems. Good has to outweigh the wicked.
