 I think Love is more of its own entity....it comes and goes and there is nothing we can do about it. If we try to control love, it wont be love anymore. Love is completely giving regardless of return...and it has no expectations. Love celebrates difference, diversity, variety, and change. It celebrates growth and challenge.
In terms of relationships, love exists when there is no fear of losing someone. When you are afraid of losing someone, you are inherently already under the false assumption they they are YOURS to lose. LOVE DOES NOT POSSESS. A lover will set his or her lover free if they want to be set free out of a committed relationship. The love will remain, but the relationship will be a sweet memory.
Read this book by Osho..."Love, Freedom, Aloneness".

Its difficult because you still do alot of jealous things in a relationship even when you are in love but the thought of ever making them upset is the worst feeling. When you love someone ultimately you accept them for everything they are and have to offer.

 To me "love" is exactly what I feel for my boyfriend of 18 months. I can't bear to be away from him. I constantly think of him. Most things remind me of him. When he's on his way to meet me I get the most unbelievable butterflies just at the thought of seeing him and when I am with him I can't even imagine wanting to be anywhere else in the world than right there with him. When I look into the future I can't see myself with anyone else other than him. The thought of spending the rest of my life with him is exciting rather than frightening. Before I met him I thought I would never want children as I have never liked them at all but I would simply love to have his children.
I would do anything that he asked me to if it made him happy.
I hope this helps with the "what love is" issue! :)
