Some things I've learned about love in the past month and a half:

Love is 5% feeling and 99% hard work. Doesn't make sense? Love doesn't either.
Love is believing in someone even when they can't or won't believe in themselves.
Love is holding on while letting go.
Love is having the courage to stand up for yourself, and the humility to say "I'm sorry."
Love is being committed and devoted when there doesn't seem to be a reason.
Love is the inability to describe why you care.
Love is being comfortable with who you are with another person.
Love is trusting your heart to someone who has the knife to stab you with.
Love is forgiving a bad day, and embracing a good one.
Love is being honest, even when it hurts.
Love is compromise.
Love is looking to the future while living in the here and now.
Love is having a reason to think tomorrow will be better.
Love is knowing the things that hurt someone, and working to make them stop.
Love is needing and needing to be needed.
Love is accepting judgement and taking it constructively.
Love is knowing you're both imperfect, and being okay with it.
Love is realizing you can be happy with someone who doesn't match the picture in your head.
Love is allowing someone to be the other half of you.
Love is what you make it.

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails."
