Love...(revised)

Love is, wherein someone, you know and see most of the things that you need, you want some of the things you like, you dislike some of the things you think you want, you then learn to want the things that you need. You have to distinguish and to accept the things you don't like, and perhaps even hate, forgive the things that test you beyond your resistance, and enjoy that person for the Love, emotion, affection, hope, desire, and element of which you even exist. Then does none of that matter, for you have found a Love, that cannot be spoken, nor seen in an image, or sung in music and work. It cannot be felt, but through experience that comes with trial and error, and emptiness, and heart ache. Then through forgiveness of pain is THAT Love acquired. I don't claim to be there, but I do claim to have passed on the road to get there. And at this point I am more than willing to accept suggestions on how exactly I can find that road again....perhaps with someone to walk it with?
