L-O-V-E

Love is patient and kind;
love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends;
as for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will pass away.
So faith, hope, love abide, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
[Corinthians 13: 1-8, 13]

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
