Love.......

Is it real? Can you prove it? How can you know if you love someone, if you have never been in love. You can only guess that what you are feeling is love, and to you it is love. Can love be love as long as the person feeling thinks it is, regardless the situation. How can someone else say that someone isn't in love? What is it about love that holds our imaginations? Something that makes us vulnerable, and preoccupied doesn't seem like something to strive for and dream about. Don't get me wrong, i dream for those moments when i am with the girl i care for so much, and want nothing more from the world, but love and its' ability to be so vague confuses me.
