as I always end up saying the same sort of things that people say when they try to describe the touch of God or whatever sensation it is that gives them Faith in their imaginary overlord.

Love, as a general feeling regardless of target, is in my opinoin a wholly subjective emotion that will vary between individuals on how it is felt. To me, love feels like a constant warm beaming light that floods through and makes me happy. The nature of the light varies depending on the nature of the Love and who it's directed at, but that's the general sensation I encounter.

I'm not sure anyone can really define "Love". It's one of those huge concepts that encompasses so much about humanity and the psyche (both of which are relatively ill-defined on their own) that it's almost impossible to come up with a definition that both is encompassing but still true to the emotion.

I just know that I knew it when I had it.

I'm sorry that your love-life is giving you such frustration <hug>
