Love.

What to say about love? ‘Love fills your whole body with the most amazing feeling. Like none other.’ Everyone says things like that. But to be honest, I can’t explain what love is. When you’re in love, you just know you are.

There is no real way to explain what it feels like. Just that you’re in love. Some may say love is that rapid heartbeat that you feel when you see the person you love, but don’t people say that that is what they feel about a crush?

Love is getting harder and harder to find. Especially among those in school. I can’t explain what love is but I can tell you, it doesn’t occur in a day, or a month, not even in a few months. It can take years. You can think you love someone in high school but when you get in to real life, you realize, they aren’t what you thought. The real world is way different from you fantasy of love.

When you do find love, that love that just makes you never want to let go of one person, maybe that’s real love. The kind of love that you guys could break up many times but still think about them in everything you do. The kind of love that no matter what argument you have they are still the person you want to be waking up next to every morning. The kind of love where you stand behind them in their decisions, you stay true while they are far away, and you try to do anything you can to keep yourselves together.

Here is my definition of love.

Love: Love Is A Verb.

Something you feel deep down inside. That feeling that is always there, even when you don’t know it. The feeling that makes you want to hold on even when all hope is lost.

The emotion that overtakes your senses when you begin to lose feeling for everything. The emotion that takes over when you look in to the eyes of someone close.

The look of awe in your eyes as you scan over your lovers face.

Taking mental pictures of their face shape, eye color, the way their body moves while they walk and do simple tasks.

The way their mouth seems to glide over the words escaping their mouth.

And finally, the feeling of being safe, at home, within the arms of that person while you look in to their eyes and the two of you exchange a smile.
