What is Love?

This is just a random talk with a guy named by a god.

In the middle of the night when all of family are sleeping, I'm awake accompanied by the stars and drowned with my own desperate thought. I already wrote the story what I'm strunggling with even not too details, but I'm still struggling with that and I realize no one can solve it except me.

Suddenly I remember that guy will call me when he arrived home after his work. 12am here, about 10pm in the other hemisphere. I decided to texted him, I told him i haven't sleep yet and yeah, he called. 

It's been days he hadn't talk about life. Litterally about life, like what's he doing or his job and vice versa, for the record I always feel better after I talk to him. I'm glad he's going well, even though he has lot of pressure because of his jobs but I know he can handle that. 

and out of the blue our talk mention about 'Love', he asked me a really simple question

What is Love?

I'm stunned, and suddenly Mariah Carey's song I want to know what love is playing in my head. 

"Tell me, what is love, cause I don't believe it." He repeat
Actually I can't explain him either, I don't know what is it, like the exact meaning of love, the essential of it. 

And I started questioning my self, What is Love? 

When you attracted to someone and you really want to spent the rest of your love with her/him, Is that love?

At this stage, I realize there's a fine line between love and lust. It's hard to differentiate it, I guess. You have no idea what exactly you felt like towards the person. Is it love? or Is it lust?

When you really care with someone and you want to help them, is that love? Or it's just your your insting as an human being? 
When you call his/her name more than your own name
When you put his needs first before yourself

Is that love?

I'm still asking my self and I decided to ask google what is love, and then i found  this article

Love is complete acceptance: When we allow someone to be exactly as they are, without any belief that they aren’t good enough, without any belief that they would be “better” if they were different, this is love.

Love is completely unconditional: Love has no conditions. When we truly love someone, we can’t stop loving them, regardless of what they do or say. If our love is dependent upon the other person acting and speaking how we want, then this love is completely conditional. We often confuse this to be love, but this is just positive thoughts about someone. This is just loving what a person says or does, not loving them. Positive thoughts or the thought “I love you” isn’t necessary to love. Sometimes it even gets in the way.

Love is selfless: True love doesn’t want anything in return, because there is nothing it needs. We just love for the sake of love. When we love someone, we don’t look for them to fill our needs, love us back, and all those types of things. If that is what we are looking for, then we are just using the other person. What is the meaning of love? Love is completely selfless.


Love has a lot of meanings and forms But the points, when you love someone you really care about that person, You do not want anyone to hurt them, you will accept someone for who they really are, and love them unconditionally, ups and downs, thicks and thins, in health and in sick.... you will always be there for them.

And for those who don't believe love is exist, maybe they've been hurt before and to afraid to open their heart again... Because I know how hurts when somoene you loved betrayed you. 

I've been betyared
I've been hurt

But I believe love does exist, maybe I haven't find it yet.

And maybe he hasn't find it too... or maybe He already in love but he doesn't want to admit. 

Well... Maybe...
