Most people describe love as, happy and warm; love makes people better. Love is those things but not just those things. love is not as 'conventional' as most believe. From experience, love is standing by each other not matter what.
When two people are married the term through 'sickness and health', is used. This is the truest statement of love. It means to stick by each others side no matter what, to love each other unconditionally, to help each other in times of sadness, to hold the others hand when they have lost their way.
Many say that long distance relationships are 'doomed to fail'. This is not the truth. It takes a bit more then most people's relationships because they live by the arbitrary meaning of love. Not being able to touch the other person, not being able to just spend time in their company does make it harder; however love doesn't need that. Love can be as simple as listening to the others problem and saying "you poor thing". love can be as simple as sending someone a meme that reminds you of them.
