Love connections.
Is love just an emotional connection, a physical connection, a spiritual connection, two of these, or all of them?
What is love to you?

To me . . . love is almost indescribable. I've never been good at telling someone why I love them. I just do. I know that there are emotional and spiritual connections in love; I'm not sure about physical, but love is many things. It is complex. It is simple. It is confusing. It is assuring. It is strength, and it is weakness. Love can make you or break you. Love is caring for another. Love is self-sacrifice. Love is a smile. Love is an embrace. Love is comfort. Love is painful. Love is happiness. Love is mysery. Love is essential.

I wish I could describe it to you.

	I'd say an emotional connection, but I wouldn't say "just". That's a pretty strong connection since people are very emotional beings. But, since I don't really care about physical contact as much and am as spiritually confused as I am, it would make sense that I'd feel that way. (Reply to this)

Emotional connection first, leading to a physical connection.

Primarily an emotional thing, but once you love someone there is a certain ammount of subconscious affection, which could be described as a physical connection. The physical connection has nothing to do with sex, but I guess you could argue that at the root of our being instinct tells us to reproduce, so we want to reproduce with whom we love. Sex has a totally different meaning now, though, and instinct has been pushed aside. I think you can have an emotional connection without a sexual one.

As for spiritual, I think that's a little far-fetched myself.
