Love is important, as humans we are social creatures and we need others; but love is different.
Scientifically, love is chemical. A mixture of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin; all cooked up in the brain as a positive response function. Yet, we as humans feel something much deeper than a chemical, we feel a bond; and if the love is true the bond is so strong it's as if it were made of the strongest material.
Sometimes, love is a curse. It causes brutal wars, pain; moronic, inane decisions. Especially when humans deal with heartbreak, the loss of love and the longing for it. For me, my love is strong. I love everything i see and interact with, and to me, everything is precious, and everything has immeasurable worth. From the chilly, charcoal smelling air of autumn, to people who have made bad choices. I love it all. Even after losing the person I would have done anything for and who I loved with all of my heart to another man, I still love her; because I can see what she sees. She sees her choice as her own, and not a mistake; and that my pain is just a sad byproduct. Even though she hurt me, i still love her.
When i say, "I love you." "You are the most beautiful person i've ever laid my eyes upon," "You are the most important thing in this life to me;" I mean it. I mean every word of it. She asked me to move on, and to me that's the same as asking me to click my fingers and teleport. It's impossible. There will always be a place for her in my heart, I know that; and that's okay. I don't hate her for what she has done, or the man she cheated on me with; nor do i regret what has happened.
What is Love?
Love is the most important thing in life; something to seek and something to keep.
