I don't think anyone can really 'define' love. It's different for every single person, isn't it?
And for some, it can even be the equivalent as is love in the game of tennis. Nothing.
I don't understand why some people are so desperate for 'love'.. If you don't need it to live, why go after it? Just a waste of time.. That's my definition for it. A lot of times you even end up in a worse condition than what you started with, and get hurt; emotionally, mentally, and what have you. Some say they aren't willing to live their lives 'alone', but is there really anyone out there that there is an exact perfect match for any single person? No, not at all. People live to change. people change in their own separate ways, they lose interest in what may have been their obsession at one point of life. They move on. Love never lasts against time. If it does, who is to say that it is actually love, and not just commitment? Commitment with no love seems like such a morbid confinement to me. Love binds one to another, yet how would you know if it's love you're feeling at all, and not something else?

Saint Valentine's day is pretty pointless once you get to the root of it. Just another way for big corporations to make some easy cash out from frantic gift-givers. (Even though I say this, I can't wait for the ''after'' sales... I'm going to buy a horde of good. cheap. chocolate. One of the reasons I can bare Valentine's day, lol.)
