Drowning Words

When I hear the word love, I think of lust and romance and sometimes obsession.
But do we really know the meaning of love?
Under google, love means;
"A strong positive emotion of regard and affection"
But not always is love a positive emotion. I know of people, who have been so hurt by certain people, whom which they say they love. That's not a positive emotion.
These, my friends, are untrue and drowning words.
I do not believe in love at this point in time. What is the point. You say you love someone, but honestly, who long do they stick around?
