What love means is another, especially an adult’s love. That is the only true essence of love and the ultimate fantasy of love translated into a real experience. Of course, the love of friends and colleagues has its own significance, but the idea is that true love can only be experienced with the ‘one’! And thanks to all the movies and books we have grown up watching and reading, the over-romanticised idea of soul mates and true love gets internalised. It’s not a romantic relationship and it is not found in the realm of ‘what does this love mean and where is it going’.
