"Give a wink, give a kiss. Give a little happiness"

Love  is a broad term

Most people think of a couple on the beach, holding one another tight, saying "I love you"

But to me, Love is something entirely different.

Love is a girl holding back from smacking her sister square in the jaw

Even though she deliberately took the Barbie doll she clearly wanted.

It's like a man saying "Yes, ma'am" To his wife's mother

Even though he wants more than anything to tell her to "Shut up already!"

And it is a young woman not saying "I hate you" to her best friend

Despite the fact that she's dating her ex boyfriend

Love is tolerance.

Love is two doves, flying across the sky after being released at a wedding.

Soaring through the air without a care in the world.

It's a man laying down his gun

Even though he believes in what he's fighting for.

Love is a bearded hippie, smiling and telling his friend to "Chillax, brah"

Hoping that his attempts will at least brighten the man's day

Love is the waves crashing on the shore

Even though sometimes people wish they would stop.

Love are the ivory keys of a piano being pressed and making beautiful music

Listening to the music in your heart and being able to visualize it in your mind

Love is reading by the warm fire
Even though you have things to do, all you want to do is live this moment forever.

Love is like someone meditating, reaching inner peace

Love is peacefulness.

It's you hugging your brand new puppy dog

Even though he just chewed up your new Jimmy Choos.

It's a baby crying after being born and seeing light for the first time

His mother just met him, yet she already loves him so.

And it's your friend walking into school wearing the ugliest sweater you've ever seen in your life.

Although you want to slap her for it, you still love her.

It's a mother and father who've just been married

And although they probably sometimes want to kill eachother, they don't.

You see, love is like a kiss at midnight

Though you are tired, you want to stay up and kiss her forever.

Love is a couple saying I do

Though they don't know what they're getting  themselves into, they're excited and willing to try anything as long as they're together.

Love is unconditional.

It's a wink from a girl you've just started dating

That makes your heart flutter

And it's children playing and laughing in the sun

Not knowing they have to grow up some day.

Love is like a grin from a stranger

That makes your whole day that much better

And it's a boy and a girl, lying on the couch, tickling each other

Despite her pleas for him to stop, she really doesn't want him to.

Love is sheer happiness.
