thot abt wad is love so i went to google to find definitions. Dug up my notes from a mod on interpersonal effectiveness to share:

Dictionary: A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person

Love actually consists of not juz the initial nice feeling! but there are 3 parts to it!

Only Passion-Infatuation
Only Commitment-Empty Love
Only Intimacy-Liking Relationship
