Love is the feeling that cant be expressed but only felt. For those eyes reflecting glory, for those ears hearing violins, minds of pure thoughts and for mouth that speaks pure words is love. All our life, we have experienced different forms of love. But not everybody has experienced them all. Itis ironical because we are surrounded by love but not able to recognise it. From an infant to grandparents, from animals to non-living things everybody yearns for love. The idea of love can be seen in the following forms,

1.Childhood Sweetheart
Childhood sweetheart is a phase for short period of time of attraction. It may absorb you in the idea of falling in love. But years later you realise that act was something childish anf feelings were not actually love but attraction. You just liked that person for some things similar to you. You were only attracted with the idea of falling in love. There were butterflies in the stomach, the reddening of cheeks and starving to atleast talk once. It was extension of friendship or may be attraction as you call it. Not everything you fall for last longs, somethings are temporary. And childhood attraction is temporary and vanishes off with time.

2.Parents and Siblings
The love of a mother, sacrifice of a father and support of siblings is unique, permanent and the best in this world. A mother can never be full until her child had something to eat. A father will sacrifice his needs, money and belongings to give his child everything he requires. The siblings might show how much they hate or tease you for things, but deep in their heart they know who their support system is. These relationships have always been priortised and will continue to be becuase no other person can stand by your side in every situation.

3.Friends
Friends are like toppings on the pizza. We choose them according to our wish. Imagine a pizza without toppings. Would you prefer to revisit that store or order a pizza another time? Similary life without friends is deserted, lonely and dull. They are like food in a party and whatsapp in our phones. They increase the value of life and add bliss to it. They are there for you, motivate you, guide you and love the way you are. The strong bond you share with your friends is your comfortness with them and incompareable.

4.Spouse/Husband
Marriage refers to that phase of life where unconditional dwells in the heart for somebody special. That one person whom you can count on without conditions, demands, contracts, reciprocation and boundaries. This idea of idealized love is rare but beautiful. You are ready to accept the faults and flaws of others without complains. The true essence of love is to love him/her unconditionally without any expecatations. This relationship is lovable and worthy.

5.Silent love
The power of silence is a souce of great strength. Not everybody is lucky enough to have the person in your life. It may be the most painful thing and not everybody can understand this emotion. But for some people, this feeling is satisfactory. You learn to be happy by watching them smile. It makes you strong as you can not confess. This is the best and cutest feeling. Not everybody is lucky enough to experience this. Unrequited love is not a tragedy, but path to your own happiness.
