What Does Love Mean:Grown Up Version
Now that we heard what Kids had to say about Love. Lets hear what grown up feel about Love ..
1.) love is something that should allow both parties to be equally thoughtful of one another, not taking each other for granted, doing things for one another - not because you have to - but because you want to.
2.)Love is not being too upset when he leaves the seat up on the toilet or him being understanding when she insists she needs that 4th pair of black pumps. It is being able to see one another's faults and loving them anyway. It is not ever wanting them to hurt and striving to be the best person you can be, and truly being sorry if by accident you fall short of that. It is "completing" one another - but not in an unhealthy sense. It is something that never dies.
3.)Love is knowing that there is only person who holds the "key" to your heart. Knowing that you will be spending the rest of your life with them just makes you feel really good inside. Love is not being able to stop thinking about this person, not being able to stay separated for too long.
4.)Love is not knowing what to say, but you know that you don't have to say anything at all. Love is not only told through one word to someone that you really love. Actions represent how we feel, so if you truly love someone let them know today, waiting for tomorrow may be too late.
5.) In love is the "gut feel" for someone where you have butterflies, etc. You are just happy to be in the same room with them. Loving someone is caring about thir well-being. Wanting to help. Being caring. But you can do it from 1000 miles as easily as right there.
6.)I think it's possible to have long lasting love and also be "in love." Maybe not all the time head over heels being in love, but if two people consciously light each other's sparks, long lasting love and lust can remain exciting and new. It has to be worked on, though, from both sides. I have to admit I still go "ooh and ahh" over my husband's eyes, or his smile, or that tight butt of his even after nine years and many of those having been really tough and being nearly divorced.
7.)Love is saying I'm sorry. Love is a precious thing - both in giving and receiving. Love is unconditional. Love is being there and giving space accordingly. Love is forgiving. Love is trust. Love is a gift from God. Love is everlasting.
8.) Love is what you put into the marriage, not what you get back from it or think you deserve. Love grows deeper over the years and this person is supposed to be your best friend you can confide in and share with. The one that fights occasionally with you for principles and then tells you they are sorry for their part in the arguing. Love forgives one another, notcheats on one another.
9.) love means caring enough about someone that you want to put their interests and welfare ahead of your own.
10.)Maybe love is really about growth and we need to crash into a few walls until we find the door to walk through.courtesy: http://divorcesupport.about.com/cs/avoidingdivorce/a/aa111502_2.htm

I dont know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see? That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you
It doesnt matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
Its crazy but its trueI only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
And asked if Id care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didnt stand a chance
Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as were together, honey, I dont care
cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see? That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
Oh, oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
And asked if Id care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didnt stand a chance
Now hear me tell you
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as were together, honey, I dont care
cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see? That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said no matter, no matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I only know I never want to let you go
cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see? That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you
It doesnt matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss

The guilty undertaker sighs,The lonesome organ grinder cries,The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.The cracked bells and washed-out hornsBlow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,I wasn't born to lose you.I want you, I want you,I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leapsUpon the street where mothers weepAnd the saviors who are fast asleep,They wait for you.And I wait for them to interruptMe drinkin' from my broken cupAnd ask me to Open up the gate for you.
I want you, I want you,I want you so bad,Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers, they've gone downTrue love they've been without it.But all their daughters put me down'Cause I don't think about it.Well, I return to the Queen of SpadesAnd talk with my chambermaid.She knows that I'm not afraidTo look at her.She is good to meAnd there's nothing she doesn't see.She knows where I'd like to beBut it doesn't matter.
I want you, I want you,I want you so bad,Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,He spoke to me, I took his flute.No, I wasn't very cute to him,Was I?But I did it, though, because he liedBecause he took you for a rideAnd because time was on his side
And because I . . . I want you, I want you,I want you so bad,Honey, I want you.
But it's not that way,I wasn't born to lose you.I want you, I want you,I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
Remember all the good times
We shared in days gone by
Remember all the sadness
The day you said goodbye
Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
You had said that you were leavin'
But you wouldn't be gone too long
With each new day I hoped and prayed
That you'll come travellin' home
Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
I watched the mailman come I listened for the phone
I met the trains at the station
But I spent my nights alone
Now the waiting is over
And the time has set the scene
Yes, God meant me for only you
And he meant you for me
Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
For I'll be thinking of you
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
Remember all the good times
We shared in days gone by
Remember all the sadness
The day you said goodbye
Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
You had said that you were leavin'
But you wouldn't be gone too long
With each new day I hoped and prayed
That you'll come travellin' home
Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
I watched the mailman come I listened for the phone
I met the trains at the station
But I spent my nights alone
Now the waiting is over
And the time has set the scene
Yes, God meant me for only you
And he meant you for me
Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
For I'll be thinking of you
For I'll be thinking of you

Each time we have a quarrel
It almost breaks my heart
'Cause I'm so afraid that we will have to part
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
One day I feel so happy
Next day I feel so sad
I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad
'Cause each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
If you should say goodbye
I'd still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I'd still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
FUCK!
Why must I be a teenager in love
It almost breaks my heart
'Cause I'm so afraid that we will have to part
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
One day I feel so happy
Next day I feel so sad
I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad
'Cause each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
If you should say goodbye
I'd still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I'd still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
FUCK!
Why must I be a teenager in love

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool,she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held before me, and said this:"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it:As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.
However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love... they try to posses it, they demand, they expect...and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you.
For love is meant to be free,you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect.Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may takea lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectationsfrom those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."
Love doesn't require two people look at each other,but that they look together in the same direction.
