And so, I define love as an innate act.
Though it is an emotion beyond description,
its whims hold sway upon so many.
Yet we continue to attach words to it—and to justify it.

Is it fondness for another? Breeding instinct?
Powerful attachment? None of these feel real because
the selfsame "love" is used for all sorts of situations and is
the impetus for all manner of actions.

At one point, love was divided into eight categories.
But those words described relationships only—they
didn't form a definition. Indeed, they spoke of love as if
the reader already knew what it was.

Speaking of love is easy; it has been expressed in all
sorts of ways for ages upon ages. But to define it?
To prove it? Ah, there's the rub.
