Ada apa dengan CINTA? LOVE?

Being a girl, i am always very curious of what 'LOVE' is.
I am very keen to know what does it feel to be ''in - LOVE".

particularly,

I always have difficulty relating to the definition of love according to what is written in the bible.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

It is clearly not the same as my defnition of 'LOVE'
not even likened to what 'LOVE' is - as i have seen in movies
nor as what i have read in novels or magazine

until

I met someone...
and decided to build a relationship with him.

honestly, then, when he said, "I LOVE YOU", i did not know what that means.

"Is love a feeling? what kind of feeling? is it a feeling like you care for someone?
someone once told me that CARE is not LOVE. So what is LOVE?"

----------those thoughts went on in my mind

But ...

Now, I know what love is;
Love is exactly like what the bible says it is.
as complex as it is, love is more than just a feeling. more than just chemistry, more than just caring for someone.

Now,
I know that learning what love is - is not an easy process.

Now,
I know that love - takes time, effort, sacrifice, and commitment.

Now,
I know that love - "always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"
