That's The Thing
“What is it like
to be in love?”
“Well, when you’re in love,
you think about that person
all the time; they are your
first thought in the morning, and your
last thought at night.
When you’re in love, you can’t wait to see them
in the morning,
even though you’ve been talking to each other
since you woke up.
Being in love is amazing. It’s a world wind of emotions and craziness.
Being in love means that you want to know
every
single
thing about them: all their quirks,
their strengths,
their weaknesses,
everything.
When you’re in love, you imagine your life together in the future.
You realize that you’ll have to give up your
favorite dessert at Thanksgiving because they’re
allergic to it, but you don’t mind
because you love them.
When you’re in love, you know their mood just by
looking at their face. You can tell by their
furrowed brow that they are frustrated with something. You can tell by their
goofy looking grin that they have some great meme to show you.
When you’re in love, you can be in a
crowded room,
people yelling at the top of their lungs, and still
pick out their voice the first time you try, because
their voice is the best music that you have ever heard.
And their laugh, their laugh is your
favorite melody to dance to.
Being in love is knowing that sometimes you
can’t fix everything that is upsetting them, so you have to just
be there for them. You have to
hold them,
rub their back, and
be there for them.
When you’re in love, you do
stupid things that you would have never done before.
You find reasons to talk to them, no matter the topic;
you find ways to see them, like taking a different route to class.
When you’re in love, you question everyday how this
amazing person chose
you,
out of everyone in the world. You wonder, because how could someone that is
this beautiful, precious, gentle soul love
you.
You question everything, and will constantly ask for reassurance.
When you’re in love, you see things with
new eyes. You become a child again.
Everything is
beautiful
and wonderful
and innocent.
Being in love means that you will
never
forget the face, the voice, the personality of the person that you once talked to
all day and night,
and that you told
everything to.
When you’re in love, you
never stop being in love.
When you’re in love, sometimes your
heart gets broken and you wish you could stop being in love
but you can’t.
When you’re in love, you understand that things
don’t always work out how you want them to and
you have to accept that.
That's the thing,
when you’re in love, you learn to
let go,
even if it kills you.”
