How to describe love is very hard for me. In my entire life, it has always had strings to it. Which to me, means it never was love.

I can tell you what it feels like for me with Alex. When I look at him, I get this overwhelming warmth of emotion. The joy I feel knowing that he is mine, a part of me. I want to protect him from harm, and give him all the affection and love I have inside of me.

In a relationship, I would think it would be a sense of two parts as one - incomplete without the other. To feel safe and secure with one another, to know the peace and contentment of simply being with each other. Trust, honesty, open communication..........giving of yourself emotionally to the other.

A sense of rightness in being with the other person, wanting to share everything no matter how small or large.

Geez I sound like a romantic novel......lol.
