THE DEFINITION OF LOVE

I've figured out that you can only define a moment of it, maybe even the atmosphere of love around one person, but then again, even that changes with every new moment. A mirror can be defined as "A surface capable of reflecting sufficient undiffused light to form an image of an object placed in front of it", but as with love, the true definition is in the heart of the beholder. You might see a mirror, I see it as a picture of everything.
What do I see when I look at...?

Brainstorming
"Love...you never see it coming, but when it leaves, you watch it every step of the way."
"Life without romance is like painting with tap water."
"In the deepest red of my heart, where no wind passes through and the flame of times gone burns undisturbed, a steady sweep of strings build to a crescendo and lift images of love and intimacy to the surface. On the outside, these notes build to a waterfall of memories that dampen my cheeks and fall down to infinity."
"I remember how hard it was to take her home. Every moment with her was not enough, and it felt like she was physically tearing away from me when I dropped her off at her apartment. The feeling started about a half a block away from my house, when we reached the traffic light. When she got out of the car and walked away, I looked at her and started missing her already, even though I knew she'd probably call me to say good night."

"I look across the table to the one I love.

S: Who are you?
M: You don't know me?
S: I'm afraid I don't.
M: You do know...everything about me...and yet at the same time you know nothing.
S: What would you mean by that?
M: You know who I am, but you do not know where, for we have never stood face to face.
S: Where can I find you?
M: You can't. I will find you.
S: I want to...I'm so confused.
M: I know. I understand. Our moment cannot be rushed - it must come as natural as wind.
S: Are you gonna talk like this when we meet?
M: No, not really.
S: My heart gets so sick waiting for you. Is there anything I can do?
M: You can pass the time collecting yourself. I need you to be real.
S: So do I, muse.
M: Our hearts are thus synchronized.
S: Synchronicity."
