What is love?

OK so I posted the Bible passage on Valentines. But I just wanted to add some of my thoughts.
True love to me comes naturally. You shouldn't have to work for it or beg for it. The most important aspect for me is trust. Without trust there is no true love. Honesty is the best policy. Be honest with yourself and with your mate. Compassion give it when it is needed and receive it when it is given. Selfish. Don't be. Not everything is about you.
Dave and I have been together for 15 almost 16 years. These I believe are the foundation that keep us happy and in love. We give to each other and we receive from each other. We are lost when we are apart and we fill complete when we are together. There is nothing we cant handle as long as we work together. We compliment each other both the good and the bad. I can't say we are perfect and that we don't argue, but at the end of the day we have each other. We have the same dreams and goals for the future. Our children are the most important things to us and the best gifts we have given each other.
I don't just think or feel this way because Dave was gone. I feel this way always. I just notice it allot more when we are apart. Being separated is not a relief or is it something I look forward too, but I do appreciate him allot more when he comes home.
