What is Love? 什么是爱?

I've been thinking...

If I were to ask you what is it about your partner that you love, what will you say?
What if you could not give specific answers, does that mean that you do not love the person?

Let's say you could not give specific answers, but you know deep down in your heart that he/she matters to you,
that when you cannot contact him/her, not knowing where he/she is, you get worried,
that no matter what, the first person who comes to mind is the other person,
that most of the time, the other person's feelings matter first, before your own,
that you are willing to try to be the person he/she hopes you will become, even though you know you probably might not succeed.
that he/she is the person you will want to spend whatever free time you may have,
that without him/her, life seems somewhat empty...

Guess that list goes on... think you get the idea.
Can't think of anymore at the moment...

But does all that make you seem pretty dependent on the other party?

Send me your thoughts...

Couple-dom is co-dependency, isn't it? Its when u no longer live as one person but as part of a couple. u know what i mean.
Its hard to pinpoint what I love about tehpeng, but its everything of him, even his not-so-great points,which I've come to accept as him being him[and me whining occasionally about them].
Hard question, but it may not need an answer. ;)

guess u're rite ab the co-dependency.. there's bound to be some form of dependence on each other...
guess wat i meant was it seemed like over-dependence.
in a way, it's like u'll like die if u dun get to spend X amt of time w her, dat u need to know where he/she is and who he/she is with, etc.
