So, before I answer your question I want you to answer one of mine. What is the history of the English word "love?" Is there a reason why we have only one word that applies to so many types of love when other languages have many different words for different types of love? At first it may seem like having just one word really limits our expression of love. On the other hand, it also allows us to connect different kinds of love into a kind of universal emotion. Because we have love for one thing, it is easier to find love in another. Love without distinction. The word can stay the same although throughout the course of a relationship the emotion or concepts may differ.
In response to prompt 4, I think sonnet 148 is a type of love. Like the tone of the poem, it is a love that is subtle and clever. I really like how it uses double meaning to draw the reader in. Like after all the talk people hear about love and sex, not talking about it but implying it is hotter. It is a kind of game, one that the couple is very used to playing and the only rule is to never talk about the game. It sounds complicated, but isn't that an even deeper kind of understanding each other?
