There are million definitions of love across the internet, mostly incorrect though because there will never be one on which the entire world would unanimously stamp its approval. I have had my share of dealings with this emotion over the past two decades and if it has taught me anything then the only definition of love that I can vouch for is : "Simple", YES, as simple as that.
If it isn't simple it isn't love. It's an emotion and that's probably the last thing that people think about these days before calling anything 'love'. Love isn't a chase, it isn't a game you need to strategize for, neither is it a trophy when you find it. It doesn't 'complicate' your life, it's the last thing love is capable of doing. It doesn't force you to do things you don't want to. It doesn't demand attention, it deserves it. It doesn't change anything in you that you don't want to. You can pretend and call anything to be love and dive into it any moment of your life, that's easy but don't. It took a billion years of evolution for you to become someone capable of experiencing this feeling in the way we can, don't ruin it by faking it just because everyone else seems to be doing the same. It might be a long, really long wait, but it'll anyday be better than getting into something you'll regret wasting your time over. Lastly, if it's love, you'll find a way to make it last forever, always.
