love?

Since I was young I am asking myself what is love ? Is it some thing that a guy and a girl can have only . since I was young waiting prince charming is my dream . but the Prince charming dream ended at the age of 8 when my dad left the family betray the love to my mom. My mom is sad and cried , all my dad took all he money and ran. I am thinking if this is love , why dad ran away with another woman and mom is crying.
Then I know Prince charming do not exist . when I get bullied , I know there is no prince charming I fight for myself and my family. I am the eldest daughter I have to protect them , my mom and siblings, my mom already protect us when we are young . we being bullied , looked down and being forced to bankruptcy . my mom still stand strong for us , this is another definition of love.
For me true love is hard , but the love my mom gave me is true. She never abandon and betray me. I love her . I too have the love of my friend as I enter the secondary I found my friends . it is not many but I love them . they are my best friend , they did not leave me when I am in trouble . they even help me .
I may be strong in front of everyone but just one word from my mom . " are u ok?" I will cried in tears , my mom's love is valuable. I love her . I may not know the love of a boy and girl relationship but who cares . as long I have my mom and family , friends I have love . they are my love ones . prince charming go aside , my queen mom is on the top!!!!
