What is love?

I was asked to try answering this question.

While pondering this and my mind drifts to my sister, then my mind then poses another question "what would my life be like if this person was no longer part of this world?" and I feel the waves of sadness, pain and dispair that come as a result of just imagining this.

I quickly wipe this question from my mind and snap myself out of these thoughts as the pain was too much to bear.

Love for me is the brilliant contrast to all of the dark emotions I just experienced, and I feel blessed to have a few gems in my life that can cause such an emotional response to that question.
