I agree completely with your "philosophical" definition, here. I do not believe in love at first sight, soulmates, destiny, "meant to be together," or any other such bullshit. It is all about choice, and that is the beauty of it.
Falling IN love may feel like losing control, but learning TO love... is regaining that power and making a conscious decision to be with that person (or persons, for you polys), over and over and over again.
