Love?

If love is a word then why does it hurt so much? Maybe I was wrong maybe love is more then just a word. Maybe, just maybe love is something amazing, something exciting. This word love is it meant to be confusing? Is love meant to be hurtful? Or is love flowers and chocolates? Is love lonely, is love scary? Can you be in love but still be alone? Can love span distances? Is love something that only comes once? Once you've lost love can you find it again or is love lost forever? Once you one can you love another? What's the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone? Can you be in love with someone but not love them? Is love suppose to make you crazy? Did Halmark create love jus to sell cards teddy bears and other cute things? Can you choose who you love? Or does it just happen? Can you decide to love some one just like you decide to hate someone? One day do you just fall in love, do you just magicaly love someone? Or do you need to work at it? Does love slowly sneak up on you? If a boy gives you a flower is that love or just a kind gesture? If love isn't a word then why do people throw love around like a word? Is love a word to fill space? Is love a word to use when you leave some one you care about? Or is love only meant for the one that makes the word love real real?
