From reading the definition and synonyms for the word love, we can safely say love is a fully loaded word, rich in terms and meaning.  A very emotional word, just thinking of love in terms of the definition alone brings a sense of giddiness and warmth to the heart and mind.  But where do we find the intense feeling of deep affection? Being honest, it is easy to initially have a feeling of deep affection for people, and for people to have deep feelings of affection for you is also usually relatively easy.  The hard part is maintaining the intensity in any relationship is work, because after the newness wears off and being comfortable sets in we no longer feel intense, nor do we consistently work on creating opportunities to enhance or rebuild deep affection.  Where do we go from here? Do we truly love anyone? Once lost, how do we regain the intense feelings of affection we are should constantly have?
