Love

Love goes further than instinct... It is a deep, emotional, psychological feeling of joy and and intense happiness. There is no past tense of the word "love" even though in the dictionary there is the word "loved." You don't stop loving something once you love it. With love, you accept everything because you're happy with who or what it is you love. So you aren't risking losing anything, because you've accepted anything can happen. You are never unhappy with love, fear losing love or scared of love. Then it is not love. That is just an infatuation because you do not consciously understand that there is an immense satisfaction when you are in love. You can cherish people or material without possessing or having it near you. That's an illusion people have because they're afraid it won't come back to them. It isn't love then, it's either an addiction or obsession. You aren't letting anything go, you've accepted that it has gone and it shouldn't hurt because you love it so much you feel it has never left.
