Define love.

It's interesting that I got this prompt today. I've been thinking a lot about love lately, well, I guess the idea of love. I'm not sure how to define love. I feel like it's one of those words that has multiple meanings. What kind of love are we talking about--the love you have for your significant other, your child, your parents or a friend? Sometimes I think it simply cannot be defined, just felt. When you love someone you just know it. There's no clear indicator to let you know. There's no alarm that says, "Hey, buddy, you're in love now." There are no fireworks that spontaneously appear signaling that it's love. You feel it in a smile, a simply touch or a silent moment. It hits you when you least expect it and overwhelms you without being suffocating. When it's love, you just know.
