what is love?

It is a feeling. It is a touch. It is trust. It is knowing someone well enough that you should walk away in disgust, but don't. Is it something you grow into? Or something that has to just happen... Can you turn love on and off? Is there a switch that says I could love this person or no?

What about growing pains? Are there things to learn from the growing pains? Is there a magic key for becoming the right person? Or are all relationships a work in progress, a commitment to find equal ground? When love fails what is left? A friend, a past love? Do you press on or call it quits? Is there a silver lining?

I'm going to bed, I have work tomorrow,
Peace-
