No, I'm not about to start dancing to the Haddaway song. 
Really, though. What is love? I've been thinking about this lately. For the record, I've been in a few relationships. None of them ended well, and I think when you're young there's a greater tendency to be romantic and believe you'll find your "true love", get married, grow old, yada yada. In my case, whilst I'm not "old" per se (24 in a few months, sure feels like I'm getting old) I feel like I'm becoming more of a realist.
In this day and age, "love" is a term being used very casually. I think a lot of young people consider simple affection and perhaps lust to be love. I've wondered whether humans were meant to be monogamous in the first place. Why are so many of us cheaters if we're monogamous creatures? Whereas swans on the other hand can stay with their mates for a lifetime. But hey, love is lovely for the bankers, right? Think about how much revenue is generated from the concept of love. It's not just Valentine's Day.
Sometimes, I think true love is only the love parents can feel for their children. I'd like to hear your thoughts, though.
