what is love?

last weekend i visited my bestfriend at Jakarta.

at some point, we talked about love.
well, don't all girls love to talked about love? ;)

and i asked her, what is love?

is it when we could explain why we love a person? when the pros outweigh the cons? and we could tell blatantly that we love a person because that person is kind, responsible, a hardworker, good-looking, share many interest and so on?

or is it when we couldn't explain why we love a person? despite the capital CONS, and we couldn't find a single explanation but because the feeling is just there, and we couldn't deny it, we couldn't pretend that it is not there, rooted deep in the corner of our heart, often the darkest one?

she argued that love is when we could explain why. that it is real and logical love. the feeling we couldn't explain is just lust. or persistence. or stubbornness.

but i said that love is when we couldn't explain why.

yet i don't have any argument to support my opinion. i couldn't explain why i think love is when we couldn't explain. maybe because we shouldn't think about love, we just have to feel it.

maybe because love is an instinct.

one friend of mine once told me "i only know what i feel"

and yes, me too only know what i feel..



is it?
