A love is tested Love is an intense, deep affection for another person. Love also means to feel this intense affection for someone. Love can also refer to a strong like for something or to like something a lot. Love has many other senses both as a verb and a noun. It is difficult to explain what love is. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
