Hmm– I don't think love can be defined so simply. Tenderness is an important part of love, but it's not the whole story. Love can also be trust and selflessness, it can take many forms- from the deep bond between family and friends to the romantic love between partners. But for me, love means a ‘deep connection’ with someone, a sense of safety and acceptance, and a desire to see the other person happy and fulfilled. Also it’s about being there for someone through thick and thin, supporting them, and experiencing life together in all its ups and downs. :>
