What is love?

• Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
  envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is
  not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not
  easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
  the truth. It always protects, always trusts,
  always hopes, always perseveres.
• Love never fails.
