Thoughts in the shower 2

I bet you've never thought love could mean more than you think. I bet you've tried to define it a thousand times like I've did. I bet you've thought of something pretty good, but felt that it was never complete.

Sometimes your newsfeed defines it for you. You stumble across an eloquent tumblr quote/passage about love - like the Brad Pitt one about Angelina Jolie! Everybody knows the Brad Pitt one. 'The woman is a reflection of her man.' And nicely put, because a woman's love is indeed a reflection of her man's.

Although I never will be able to fully define love, in the shower today I thought of the first definition to ever come close to complete. Love isn't your painstakingly thought through definitions. Love isn't what your daily dose of tumblr quotes defines it to be.

Love is actually only one thing. Love is a dictionary of all these definitions. The definition of love is the definition of a dictionary. It is the keeper of all definitions, the full record of every single definition you have ever given it. It is defined by every single thing you've ever done for him/her since the day you first met. It is the complete chronicle of every beautiful day you've spent together.

Well, this is the closest I've come to 'complete'.

And I guess 'complete' can only be found by being in love itself.
