I don't know. Is love in this case a verb or noun? Is it what you do or what you have? If you "love" someone by doing things that make them feel good about themselves and make them feel loving toward you, while inside you are actually repulsed by them and seething with anger, is it love? Is it the feeling, "hey I love this person" that may not be backed up with actions or words to prove that it's true? Or is it the thing you are in, a relationship where you share your life together, giving and taking, supporting, being friends with, etc and the sometimes you don't feel that great about them and sometimes your heart yearns for them, but through it all you're committed to making it work and willing to put your heart on the line and get hurt?
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
