One love,One life. So do you suppose that's true? I've heard it so many times, everyone has someone waiting to love them & be loved by them. Is it just one? And define love anyway....do you get one love from each categorization of love ? Because there's the knock down, drag out messin' with your head love, the passing someone on the street attraction love, the pure lust love, well I could go on but you get the gist, finish the list yourself. Heck, maybe your list will be longer than mine.
Or, do you just get one go around? One all in one love, & if it doesn't work out, well, sorry, thanks for playing, here's half a heart as your consolation prize.
Do some people never feel any kind of true love, true love as in the definition of can't get you out of my head type love? Are some so jaded that they won't allow themselves to love or be loved? But maybe that is the result of loving & then being hurt by love.
Basically I think love is the ultimate four letter word. We banter it around, as in OHHH I LOVE that movie. Or OOOOH I LOVE that actor (okay, that may double up with the pure lust love category....hmmmmmm.........oh yeah, anyway lost my train of thought there for a second) We LOVE a certain food, we LOVE our friends, I mean seriously, I believe love the word is the most overused descriptive noun/verb in the world. So maybe that's why it's also one of the most confusing. We sign our letters Love, so is the recipient sitting there thinking, uh, love as in what?
I decided to look love up in the dictionary...hey love, how YOU doin'? And look at this from dictionary.com

I really love your entry today.
It gets even more confusing when you consider love in ancient Greek - there are four different words for it!
Sorry, got carried away on my first visit to your blog, came via Dr John, I get all excited about stuff like Ancient Greek cos I am a Bible Scholar!
Great entry, thank you.
