Well, love is...

The qualities that I look for in a loving, committed, relationship are patience and loyalty. Both of these qualities are important to having a great love; patience because sometimes love can turn passionate. By having patience, each person is able to keep a cool head and work past the issue and move on. Loyalty is also important because  you can love someone but if there is a conflict, sometimes the one person will leave and give the love to someone else. With loyalty, you can trust that the person will be there no matter what. I see love in music in several different ways. One way is through almost every Taylor Swift song, because she writes a lot of songs about her love life. These songs range from 1st love to being in a relationship to the break up and after. Another way is through songs by people like Justin Bieber or Usher. They sometimes talk about physical  love with a spouse or girlfriend or romantic love. Music is a way that people express their different views and feelings in a way that doesn't mean direct confrontation. The view on soul mates is a little weird.  I do believe that the person you marry should be the one you spend the rest of your life with. But, the 1st person you marry may not be the one you are meant to be with. For example, if a couple gets married, but then one of them dies and the living one remarries and is happier, that means she has found her soul mate. Not that she didn't love the other spouse, but this is the one she is meant to be with. There is no universal "Mr. Perfect,"it is different for everyone.
