When I was in grammar school, most of the girls had something called a slum book or autograph book. Usually, you would ask friends to write in this book. Questions in this book would range from simple inquiries such as name, birthdate, address to thought provoking ones like have you been in love, what is love, do you believe in long engagements. I don't really know what elementary aged kids knew about love back then but they were answered and some went like this...
What is love? "Love is blind." "Love is like a rosary full of mysteries."
"Love is a many splendored thing."
Have you ever been in love? "Yes, but I won't say." "No." "Just a crush."
Do you believe in long engagement? "Yes" and "No"
I still have my slum book. I look through it every now and again and just laugh and laugh.
Now, if you ask me what I think love is...well...here's John Lennon's song that would sum up how I feel about Love right now...
