?love?

Love. Do I even know what that word means? According to the dictionary, the word love is defined as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. So, it's a passionate affection for another person... Does that mean love is merely lust? Lust for one another equals love? I always wondered if there was a certain age that we were supposed to have experienced "love". It wasn't until ten months ago that my perception of love changed completely. I always thought that I was too young to love and that in college, I would truly experience what love is. I realized that love is something you cannot plan because you never know when that one special girl is going to enter your life. I didn't tell myself ten months ago that I would find the love of my life. So, what I've been able to prior experience and through everyone else's perception of love is that love is something unexplanable. You cannot plan to affiliate yourself in the game of love. The game of love and the game of lust are one total opposite sides of the spectrum. Both games cannot be played on the same court and the decision to involve yourself in the game of love and in the game of lust are two aspects of life that you need to be very cautious about. I believe through experience, we are able to distinguish between the game of love and the game of lust. I believe the game of love holds the ultimate reward at the end and I know that although it may be tough at times, love conquers all and outweighs the bad.
