Losev in Alrizan means Love. However, its connotation is much more advanced than the disreputed meaning of English. What what is Love?
Love is not just a word, nor is it the feeling of infatuation towards an individual. It is sacrifice. To say, "I love you" is to say "I will sacrifice for you." Indeed it does hold the concept of infatuation, for without this, there is no means nor need to give up something you hold dear to you. For what is sacrifice if it is not of something valuable? Time and peace of mind are two common sacrifices for Love, as well as the lesser gifts of materialistic possessions. The greatest gift you will ever give is NOT Love. The greatest gift you will ever give shall be given to Love.
Indeed, how great your Love is, is both demonstrated and forged by the amount of your sacrifice.
For also, Love is a person. But what does it mean to call one, "Love"? Beyond the statement of offered sacrifice, it is a vow of honesty, saying "You are my only," and of undeterred dedication, saying "I will always fight for, and to never lose, you." The prior suggests ignoring other potential mates and the latter, giving everything and enforcing every effort to keep Love. While "everything" and "every effort" involves personal safety, time, and energy, there are no bounds to what must be surrendered.
If Love is lost, and you are haunted without end for far too long a time by whispers of the past, ghosts in the shape of memories...it is likely you sacrificed a great deal for Love. As it is written by Kahlil Gibran, "When you are sorrowful, look [into your heart]...and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." And indeed, the sacrifices you make are a delight.
Losev is a name, a vow, a statement. Losev is not just a word.
