So I looked up love, care, and affection:

Dictionary:
Love - an intense feeling of deep affection.
Care - the provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of someone or something.
Affection - a gentle feeling of fondness or liking; the act or process of affecting or being affected

Thesaurus:
Love - fondness, tenderness, warmth, intimacy, attachment, endearment, devotion, adoration, doting, idolization, worship, passion, ardor, desire, lust, yearning, infatuation
Care - concern, consideration, attention, attentiveness, thought, regard, mind, notice, heed, solicitude, interest, caringness, sympathy, respect
Affection - fondness, love, liking, endearment, feeling, sentiment, tenderness, warmth, warmness, devotion, care, caring, attentiveness, closeness, attachment, affinity, friendliness, friendship, intimacy, familiarity, amity, favor, regard, respect, admiration, warm feelings

Care's definition makes it sound so clinical. Like it applies to teachers and students, doctors and patients, etc. Personally, I thought care was more like affection. I like affection's definition and synonyms I like a lot. I hope L feels affection towards me. I absolutely disagree and hate the synonyms of love. It sounds so possessive and controlling. I do not think of love like that.

I still need to come up with my own definition.
