Love is... something that means that you value them. More than simply heat, or lust. Whether that is their presence, their insight, the challenge they provide... there is no singular definition.
Why, one of my valued friends, Masego, does not desire the person he cares most deeply for carnally, but they value each other deeply in other ways. They... love each other, even without the shared pillow or heats.
