Love: verb or noun?

Today I Googled: Love. Why? One, because Google saves lives. Two, because I was having a mental debate regarding the word. Is it a noun or a verb? Well, according to my genius friend, Google, who I probably couldn't survive without, it's...well, both. I'm okay with this. From the noun aspect, it's a feeling that most people can't explain and if they do...they merely use other feelings as descriptions. From a verb aspect, it's an action. The noun of love & the verb of love are codependent. The noun is the feeling & the verb is the proof.
