Love - true love - is the unbreakable connection between two individual, unique people. It is the morphing of those two individual, unique souls into one. It is the willingness to give up everything you have and everything you could have, no questions asked, for that other person. True love is being able to give of yourself so completely that you would give your life, your whole life, so that your other half might live. It is the prayer to God in the moment of grave peril when you ask, earnestly, for God to spare him and take you instead. It is the desire to help one another through thick and thin, to stand by each other no matter what. It is the promise that you will never give up on each other, that you will never call it quits. It is the belief that when this world is over, you will be reunited in the kingdom of Heaven. True love is when you can accept each other's faults as nothing more than that which makes the other perfect. True love is the only love worth having.
I love you, Bear.
