What is love..?

i was browsing friendster and open up this notice from the bulletin board.. its title is "what is love.." i've read through it.. and thought it is quite interesting.. and i wanted to share with all of you.. here it goes..

It's hard for two people to love each other when they live in two different worlds... but when these two world collide and become one. That's what u call...MAGIC! If you're AFRAID to love a person because of friendship, you have 2 choices, either tells what you feel and let the love take place of forever or hide the feeling under a friendship full of PRETENSIONS.
Sometimes I've asked myself, what would make me HAPPY? To think that I have everything else, I get what I want.... Then I REALIZED IT WAS YOU, too bad coz' it's YOU I can't have....... Love can never be so beautiful without FRIENDSHIP?...one leads to another and the process is IRREVERSIBLE...... the BEST of lovers is the GREATEST of friends!!! Love DOESN'T have to have a HAPPY ending, 'Coz love doesn't have to end at all.
When you love someone, DON'T expect that person to love you back the same amount. One of you will be ahead, the other behind. It's either you catch up or the other waits. Never be AFRAID to fall in love. It may HURT a lot, it may give you aches and pains, but if you DON'T follow your heart, in end you will cry even more for not giving love a chance.
I'm sorry if you can't love me the way you loved the one before me, so I'll let you go to find him/her and hope someday you'll see that the TRUE LOVE you're looking for was the one who set you FREE. Isn't it funny?? We're trying to catch the attention of the one we think we love. We hardly NOTICE them till they are in the arms of someone else....
Love is like standing on wet cement, the LONGER you stay, the HARDER it is to leave and you can never go without leaving your prints behind....
THINK OF THIS: have you really cared for someone more than you expected? Have you ever tried to love him/her despite of all the pain? Will you keep on loving he/she whispers someone else's name? Will you???
True love hears what is not spoken, and understands what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the mind, but in the heart......When you love, you must NOT accept anything in return, for if you do, you're not loving but INVESTING. If you love, you must PREPARE to accept pain. For if you expect HAPPINESS, you are not loving but USING..... I like you because you're my friend and because you are my friend and I care, and because I CARE, I LOVE you, I don't love you because you are my FRIEND.... I Love you because I do!!!!
FOOD FOR THE THOUGHT: it's better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than lose someone you love with your useless pride. I can't choose who I'm gonna love, but I also can't just love who chooses to love me.... and you can't blame me in choosing to love you as much as I can't BLAME you for not learning to love me.
"How can I say GOODBYE to someone I never had??? Why do TEARS fall for someone who was never mine? Why is that I MISS someone i was never with and I ask why I love someone who's LOVE was never MINE? "Don't love a person like FLOWER, cause a flower dies in SEASON. Love them like a RIVER cause river flows FOREVER......
Love may leave your heart like SHATTERED GLASS, but keep in mind that there's someone who'll be WILLING to endure the pain of picking up pieces so you could be WHOLE again....somehow, it reminds mi of jigsaw puzzles :).... it requires time, endurance n patient to fixed a whole picture...
