Love is the overwhelming feeling to desire someones presence, there isn't anything in the world that you wouldn't do for this person. You want to be their shoulder to cry on, their happiness, their reason to smile, their reason to come home, their protector, etc.

ReplyDeleteTwo adjectives I would choose are affectionate and passionate
I know this song because it used to be one of my dad’s favorite songs, so I’ve heard it for years. He told me it reminds him of when he used to hang out with his friends when he first moved to the United States.

Personally, I view love as something that has to be gained. Love is normally associated with being an emotion or a feeling when in reality it is both. Love can be given and received. Love is something that is cherished and provides a person with a sense of belonging and comfort.
Love in two adjectives: pure and unconditional
Today is the first time I've listened to Tom Petty. I'm not a fan, but the song isn't horrible.

I view love as a overtly large amount of emotion, whether it be happiness, anger, or depression. I view all of those with Love in large quantities. Like you are beyond happy to be with what you love, you can fall anxious in anticipation. And can fall under a depression to see the same thing leave. But in the end it is always something you look forward to. Something you want to stay with you forever
Two adjectives: Passion, and pure
