"Besides, love is like Europe. It's such an overused and complex word that it can no longer be accurately defined" - A friend of mine
That gave me a great laugh
So anyways, I can't really comment on most forms of Love, but I can state my opinions towards red (romantic) and white(obsessive/selfish/whatever) loves
Red Love is to me a feeling of connection. An understanding of one another and an infinite care. It flows between you, drawing you together. It makes you feel so joyous to be in your love's presence. You find yourself smiling when you think of them (and, yes, you think about them a lot). Even when you argue with them, you know that you can never stay angry with them. And you know you would give anything for them. It builds you both up, making you feel stronger together
White Love is like Red Love, but one-sided and selfish. When you are drawn infinitely to someone, but they do not feel the same back. It overwhelms you and and blinds you with its endless light. It constantly whispers to you that if you just keep trying, eventually they will Love you back. Its siren song lures you to them, until eventually you can't think about anything else. It's no longer just often you think of them, it's always. And no longer does the thought of them bring happiness, on its heels follows bitterness and anger. You wouldn't just give anything for them, you would do anything to have them for yourself. You become irrational, in desperation you abandon your morality. The worst part of it, is that it's no longer the Love pushing you to do things, you do and say them because you want to. It's still there, keeping you from going back, from realizing all the terrible things you've done, but it is you doing all the terrible things
It tears you apart inside, threading its tendrils through your heart and smashing everything in its path like a Morbuzakh infestation (#reference). Once it has taken root, nothing can rip it out. Even after it has destroyed your heart, it never leaves you. The pain and regret will haunt you forever. To me, White Love is the most powerful emotion of them all, for the smallest seed of it can tear apart an entire being
That's my experience at least, I'm sure it's different for everyone though
