A small word containing only four letters.
L
O
V
E
Four simple letters, and still they mean so much.
Looking it up in a dictionary, it would say:
1) Warm liking or affection: affectionate devotion; a mother's love for her children, love of (one's) country, i.e. patriotism. She has a great love for animals. He shows little love towards her.
2) Sexual affection or passion: marry for love, not money. Their love has cooled, i.e. is no longer strong.
He stops reading for a moment, and skims the text until he reaches number 9.
9) Be in love, feel affection and desire.
Never that good with feelings he looks up the word desire.
1) (a) Strong sexual longing; my desire for her/to make love with her. (b) instance of this: passionate, intense, strong, etc desires
Footsteps are heard and stops behind him, still he pays no attention.
"You know…" the person starts, and pulls out a chair beside him, "it would be easier to understand love, if you…" she pauses and when he doesn't hear her say anything he turns his head to look at her.
"If I?"
"Well…" she begins, shaking her head she stands up, "forget it, its too hard to explain, but I'll tell you this…" a small blush appears on her face, "when the time comes, you'll definitely know the meaning of the love…"
He looks at her with a raised eyebrow, "thanks…" he quietly says, turning his attention back to the dictionary, he can still hear her footsteps echoing throughout the library.
When he is sure that she is no longer present, he turns the pages looking up the word lust.
Again, four letters with so much meaning.
And yes, I did look it up in a dictionary, why I don't know…
Until then…
