Love Is...

Love is when you have this heavy weight tugging you down right at the place where your heart used to be. When you feel like gravity no longer holds you down, but he does. When you see him, a million thoughts race through your mind, and there are a million things you want to say, but the best you can manage is a nod and a smile, a wave, or a simple ‘hey’, because if you try to say anything more, you know you will choke up and blurt out something stupid.. When you see him, you feel like your heart is beating so fast it’s going to fly away from you. In a way, it does. It flies to him. When you feel like you are so full of happiness, you feel like your going to start flying, but the only thing keeping you down is that if you were to fly away, you fear he couldn’t fly with you.

When he walks into the room, all the rest of the world fades away until it is just the two of you, with dork grins slapped across your faces that would make anyone else laugh, but you think they are perfect. Love is when you could have just staggered out of bed and look like you wrestled a tiger, but he will still tell you that you are the most gorgeous thing he has seen all day. Just to make you smile. Just to see you happy.

When he is hurt ,you are the one that is bleeding …not him. When you would give up anything in the world just to be with him.

When you are lying out under the stars and in that perfect place that you fit into each other’s arms, not needing to talk because you both know what each other is thinking. When he looks in your eyes, puts his arms around your waist, you look into his eyes. He’s looking back. You feel like you are going to sink through the floor.

You just want to freeze the moment, lest you lose it…. And you feel like you need to be with him, or else you are incomplete.

You would go through all the pain and suffering for him. You would risk it all for him. And you would put aside your stubbornness and all of your ego, to hold him in your arms. To feel his arms around you.

You look into his eyes. There it is. Everything you want to know.He takes your breath away without even trying.

And then, you know…..yes……this is love.
