when we talk about love

Love can be an abstract idea. But it is arguably more than an idea.
Love is something we as humans were created for.
We don’t just want love, we need it; we crave it; it is wired into our very being. People have gone to such extreme lengths for the sake of love.
It would seem petty and irrelevant unless one actually looked at what love is.  
It is food, water and medicine for our spirits. We thrive off of it and it satisfies us.
Real love satisfies us.
I am not speaking about temporary, cheap, ephemeral love that easily fills and then leaves a gaping hole bigger and more demanding than before.
That is not love, yet the World has shown us that there is nothing more than that, only because of the bitter experiences society has gone through.
No, that is not love.
Love will never be that simple or that cheap.
It is costly and it is worth more than life itself. Love includes all aspects of a relationship--good, bad, ugly, lovely, temperamental, patient, enduring.
It is raw,
unfiltered,
and unconditional.
Real love is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen.
