Is This Love?
How can you tell if you're in love with someone? I honestly don't know. I mean, I have been in love before...twice, actually. But, I just can't put my finger on it. What feels like love to one person may be nothing more than attraction to another. Sometimes you can like someone a lot, to the point that it feels like you might just be in love with that person. You are overwhelmed with an array of feelings that seem to surface from you all at once and you don't know what to make of them. You feel the flutters of what seems to be gigantic butterflies flapping their wings in the pit of your stomach. You start getting some serious ventricular contractions and you become really nervous when you anticipate seeing him or her. But, does that mean you're in love? I wouldn't rule it out, but it might not be the case necessarily. This is because there is a little thing called lust. Lust feels like love, but it clearly isn't. It is mostly a physical attraction, which can get easily mistaken for love. But, how does that happen? I must say I don't know this one either. What I do know is that right now I am glowing. I feel an energy radiating from me that is truly magical. Isn't that awesome? I am free..my heart is free! To be honest, it feels like I'm walking on air actually. Sounds very cliche, I know, but I can't help it. I am truly loving this feeling and it's all because of him. That might not mean love to some. But that, ladies and gentlemen, is love to me.

In many ways I agree with this... but for me, I have also found that true love never comes easy.

I really don't agree with her. You have to fight, live and breath for the one you love, to give all of yourself unconditionally. I always knew I was in love when I would go to all lengths to be there for her, even if it meant driving 3 hours in the middle of a snow storm for a 3 minute goodbye before she left for a 3 week vacation.
True love just touches every inch of me, inside and out, it overwhelms me with emotion... maybe I'm not putting this properly into words, I've never been good with writing about my feelings, but when I'm in love, I know it and I'll do everything possible to let her know it too.
You have expressed yourself so beautifully here...LOVE it! I certainly do agree with you. When the love is there and you REALLY care for someone, you must be ready to fight...fight with all you've got. Love definitely does touch us in unimaginable ways. It's ability to touch every inch of you, like you said, is truly magical. I cannot fathom a world without the ability to feel passionate, selfless, unconditional love, I just can't. You're a wonderful person...thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with me! :)
