love to me.
is often overlooked and the word is over used.
i hear people say "i just love dogs" and i think no you dont. you like dogs but theres probably only one (your pet or a pet from the past) which you love.
love is acceptance of all the little anoying things, and there are many in every relationship be it a partner a pet or a friend.
love is refreshing.
again you hear the phrase "burning love" and "love burned brightly" but the few times i've been in love with someone. it hasn't burnt.
my love for my family and friends doesn't burn. to burn is to wither into ash.
theres 2 old scotish clan mottos that sum up love for me
"dulcius ex asperis (sweeter after dificulties)" and "luceo non uro (i shine, not burn)"
