Love is fulfilling, and uplifting. it makes you smile, when you are down. it like, completes you really. Everyone wants to be loved. Even just love from your family feels amazing. Love is so much more than movies, and books. I mean, yes it's not as perfect as in the movies and books. Love has flaws, as well as people. It's beautiful, but has the power to destroy you too. Love can last forever, as long as two people really are in love with one another, and are willing to fight through the bad times, to get back to the good. You can't expect love to work if you're going to walk away at the first sign of trouble. My great aunt, and my uncle met when they were 16, they married when they were 17. I see them together now, and it's beautiful. They're just still the same. They're old, but they still love one another you can see. They still fight, but that doesn't mean anything. They're not like the old couples people talk about, they're realistic. They argue more than say i love you, they ignore one another, more than they talk etc. But it's life. Just having one another, means they're happy. They don't need to say i love you every second, they've been together for over 20 years, they know already. Love is beautiful, and yes it has it's pain, but it's mostly beauty. Love doesn't hurt at all.
