Your touch that used to touch me. To the ends of your fingertips, I can still feel you”

    Genre: Song/MV

    This represnts love to me because of the sentimental look and feeling. Also the artist describing in detail his ex's detailsthat he loves so much and misses so much. To be that in detail and personal with someone to me portrays the love.

    Lyrics: “'Cause all of me loves all of you / Love your curves and all your edges / All your perfect imperfections”
    These lyrics speak to loving someone completely, flaws and all. It's about acceptance and vulnerability, two of the most authentic forms of love.

  • How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies – this movie elucidates familial love. the grandchild's initial transactional love for his grandmother develops into a more genuine and true connection as their bond deepens

    1. this song by Jeff Satur speaks to unrequired love, trying to forget someone but not being able to. it's heartache filled with pain and longing for love that isn't reciprocated.

    https://youtu.be/kA244xewjcI

    1. Past Lives – a culturally different lens of love, of requited love but knowing that an ill-fated love where they know they cannot end up with each other but still have deep love and care for each other regardless

    Lyrics: “And I wish to you joy and happiness / But above all this, I wish you love.”

    These lyrics show that sometimes love means letting go but still wanting the best for someone. It’s selfless and bittersweet.

    This funny tiktok represents love to me because of the concern in the owners voice and actions. He put in the caption that he actually started to panic that his cat was dead, but when he realized he wasn’t he breathed a sigh of relief. Taking care of a cat alone is a big responsibility and the care and concern in his actions shows to me how much he loves him if he actually did pass away.
