How do you know
you're in love ?
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you
find someone who can completely turn your world around.
You tell
them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and
they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear
more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that
will never come
true, goals that were
never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at
you. When something wonderful happens, you
can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share
in your excitement. They are not
embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with
you when you make a fool of yourself. Never
do they hurt
your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but
rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself
that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure,
jealousy or competition but
only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry
about what they will think of you because they love you for who
you are. The things that seem insignificant to most
people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures
kept safe in your h e a r t to cherish forever. Memories
of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s
like being young again. Colors
seem brighter and more
brilliant.
Laughter seems part of daily life where before
it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone
call or two during the day helps to get you through a long
day’s work and always brings a smile to your face.
In their presence, there’s no
need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite
content in just having them nearby.
Things that never
interested you before become fascinating because you know they
are important to this person who is so special to you.
You
think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do.
Simple things bring them to mind
like a pale blue sky,
gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the
horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a
chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you
experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.
You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your
heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares
you. You find strength
in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who
will remain loyal to the end. Life seems
completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing
that they are a part of your life. If you can relate to
everything you just read..you are in love.
