Read on further to know what it means to them:

True love is based on mutual understanding and affection. It is a matter of the heart. True love is a pure state where feelings are understood. Forced love can be a compromise only. Love can become an obsession as well. There is nothing right or wrong. But love in its pure form can’t be an obsession. The only way to avoid an obsessive lover is to say ‘no’ right at the start. A good conversation is what melts my heart and keeps me connected to the person who matters.

True love is full of emotions where feelings take centrestage and stubbornness goes out of the window. True love is more than just romantic words. Forced love is not love. When love becomes an obsession, it takes a toll and makes life hell. When feelings are not reciprocated, it only damages. Love is a matter of the heart and can’t be judged.

Love is a permanent feeling for someone for whom your heart beats. Life without love is like food without salt. Forced love is a reality too but that doesn't last forever. When a rubber band is stretched beyond a point, it breaks. Obsession is a disease. It has to be handled with maturity. You can't be encouraging it. Patience and understanding connect me with my partner. According to me, trust is very important.

Love is a pure emotion. It is a matter of the heart. Valentine’s Day is just one day to express. But love is something you need to express regularly. Having a caring and understanding nature makes any relationship work and defines true love.
