Love?

So tonight i had this really deep and interesting conversation about men a women dynamics in relationships and in general. We looked up the term love, due to the fact that English really only has one word to describe this feeling or emotion or whatever you choose to call it and most languages have multiple words for different variations of it. This is what websters online dictionarary says.....Which the different definitions have various meangings and different approaches (male and female) Do you really feel that any truely describe what you feel about it? For me none can incompase it, and all are pretty lame at describing reality, which is a problem with words i guess or maybe some songs?
Ben Harper - Beloved One
Cut Copy - Feel the Love
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Fruit Bats - When you love somebody
A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover
River City Rebels - Bloody April
