What is love?

Ever since I was a child I heard the question "What is Love?" And I never could answer it. I have accepted the fact that this is one of those questions that no one has an answer for, just like the chicken and the egg. But I recently learned what love is, and it's so much more than I could ever imagine.  

Love is something we feel in our hearts, when we think about this person and the blood pumps faster. And it comes out of nowhere too; one day you go to sleep thinking about this friend of yours, and as you close your eyelids, you think "Yeah, they are my best friend." And just like that, when you wake up in the morning, you know you love them. You don't want to marry them, just hang around with them for the rest of your life.  

Which brings me to my next point: love is forever. Even when the person we love hurts us so deeply that we cannot look at them; it hurts so much because we love them so truly and purely. I've loved people who were not good for me, and I put them first, before me, and I tried everything to make them happy. We both got hurt, and I ruined our relationship forever. Just remembering what happened to us, it brings back all of my anxiety. But I love this person so much, and I think about them all the time. In heart, I'll always love this person 

And now, my last point: how do we show someone we love them? And that's easier than it sounds. My mother thought me about the languages of love. Some people feel loved when we give them presents, some people feel loved when we spend time with them, some people feel loved when we do things for them. Once we find out how to love someone, everything is easier. 

So, love is just like a tattoo, that pumps ink into our veins. Sometimes we remove tattoos, but our skin will be forever scarred by them. Sometimes we are born with one, and we have it until the day we die. But always, when we feel our hearts pumping a smile on our faces, just because we remember how lucky we are for having this someone in our lives, we get a new tattoo.
