The definition of love is difficult. It takes on many forms. Acceptance of the person as a whole is definitely a part of it, whether it be a friend, partner, etc. There's definitely many forms of love, and the intensity can vary.

Wanting someone to be truly happy is a sign of love. Then, there's the kind of love where you feel you cannot live without someone, although I don't believe obsession is love. That's just an illusion of being in love for people, in my view. The feeling of being soulmates can be a characteristic of love on a spiritual level.

One thing I was thinking about the other day is that love is not always enough to stay with someone. Perhaps that would be classified as something different than romantic love, since there's a distinction from being "in love" and loving someone.

Then of course, there's a more superficial form of love. You can love pizza! Yeah, I know that's a stretch.
