30 Rock defined it nicely tonight when a character said that Vday is the day that everyone wants to know that someone cares a little bit about them. Love is the most painful and the most fulfilling of emotions. Often at the same time, with the same person. You can't truly love unless you open up the deep part of your heart to be seen and understood. Scarily open. Vulnerable. Able to be cut and broken if that person you open up to chooses to break you.
But to be seen and loved in return. It's like feeling the sun warm your face on a cold morning in spring. It's like the biggest bear hug in the strongest arms that have ever held you. It is the thought that makes you smile crossing the street. It feels like coming home after a long long journey away.
Etta James said it best...."At last, my love has come along, My lonely days are over and life is like a song."

It's good to know that that kind of love between humans exists, because there are days when it's hard to believe it does. :D
