Where is the Love?

Do you wonder what love is, and whether you can ever find the kind of love that you are looking for?
Even if you do find that supposed love, is that what you really want and will it be enough?
What if someone tells you the truth and you feel like you will die from a broken heart or broken promises? If that is LOve, then why don't I understand. I want honesty. I get honesty and yet I still search for love, thinking i haven't found it yet.
Human conditioning, dreams, societies expectations, unrealistic role models etc. They are all contributing factors in the way that I see love and the way that I show love.
What if being loved doesn't even come in the form of an intimate relationship with another? What if it comes from the feeling created when you see an infant sitting with her grandmother in a restaurant? There may be 70-80 years age difference, but there is an unspoken love that pulls the strings of my heart. Does that little girl have an inner knowing that one day she be just like that little old lady sitting with her?
So, where is the Love?
For me, the love is:
A baby staring at her own hand in total wonderment of her fingers that move and curl over.
A movie that touches my own feelings and thoughts of love, passion, sadness, grief, wonderment and excitement.
Its the magic of being alive and realising this.
A friends smile, hug and happiness to see me.
The warm sunshine on my face.
A wave that crashes onto the shore and then pulls back, almost as if as an act of compassion and humbleness saying "I am grand and may take you at any time, but today you stay here on earth".
A mothers care and worry for her daughters wellbeing.
The thought that I can make a DIFFERENCE in at least one persons life and even in my own life.
