What is Love?

Amber: It's like swallowing fire, endlessly, choking on the scorched remnants of your core and the smoke filling the air around you ceases oxygen and slowly you see the world fading....and when you are reborn you always carry the memory of that moment; it never fully leaves and there is an ache forever inside you for nothing, nothing can undo you the way that love can.

Ruth: It's the unalterable knowledge that no matter where they go, or who they love, or who they are with - you want to be by their side. It doesn't matter for where they are, that is home. That is the only place you can conceive of being. Where else would you exist after them, if not by their side?

Dara: It's a type of poison. Slow. Then fast. Then slow again. First, it makes the world a fake happy and then it makes the world a happy fake and after, it's all fake. There's no happy.

Felicity: I feel as if it is like an eternal Spring. It is always blooming, flowering, budding into something so beautiful that each moment is a glorious new start. It makes up for all the winters, which had been so barren, and it replaces their memory with that of joy, and life, and wonder. It's forever growing and blossoming into something incredible.

Jade: Have you ever chewed on razor blades? Your heart is the tongue and their love is the razor.

Summer: It's knowing no matter the depth of your woe, the length of your grief, that it's all worth it to hear them laugh. To see them smile. All the endless torment of life and hardships and stormy seas - it all disappears with the sound of their happiness. Their happiness becomes so important that if you become the reason they aren't happy, you would leave, remove yourself, just to know they'd be happy. It's all about their laugh. Their smile.

Jill: It all becomes one familiar ache. Like that old pair of shoes you can't throw out, but leaves blisters- yeah, you know the one I'm talking about. That's what it's like. If you find yourself in familiar waters, you know what's coming. You just sorta' swim and hope for the best - until you drown.

Alice: Well, after love, the world never is the same. Love is the only lesson that teaches you everything you need to know in life. You need it. You'll seek it. It will change the world around you, sometimes into a fairytale, and sometimes into a nightmare, but your world will never be the same after love.

Grace: It's falling. It's sometimes flying and sometimes landing and sometimes hurting, but it always starts with falling. Sometimes, people are terrified of falling. Sometimes, they love the feeling. I always loved it when I was caught. Love is falling hoping for a safe landing.
