My Idea of Love

I had read a status message put by one of my friends

“Once in your life time you find a person who loves you from the bottom of the heart and if you are stupid enough to miss that opportunity you will miss it forever.”

Hence out of curiosity wanted to find what Wikipedia has to say about Love. According to Wikipedia, Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. There are various contexts in which Wikipedia describes and defines the subject.

Then the big question was what does it mean to me? Honestly it’s really hard to describe what it means; I had never really given a thought to it.

In my opinion it is an indescribable, unexplainable deep euphoric feeling for someone. It’s an unconditional affection you have for that person. 

Though it’s difficult to describe, some of the symptoms of being in love are

• It's when he/she is the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and the first thing you think of when you wake up.
• When you think about your future you see its with him/her
• When there is a sense of complete trust, where you share every little thought and feelings knowing that it would be safe in his/her hands.
• Without them you have a big empty feeling and you long for his/her presence.
• When you accept the person entirely and completely.
• Knowing that nothing else matters more than him/her.
• When you get lost in conversations and hours pass like minutes.
• When you just stay on the phone even if its silent at the other end.
• When he finds you beautiful even when you know you aren’t looking that beautiful.
• When he/she remembers things that you forgot about yourself.
• When he/she reminds you of these things.
• When he sends you flowers
• When all the stupid love songs seem so meaningful.
• When you stand by him/her no matter what happens.
• When being able to say something stupid and not worry about it and to be just yourself.
• When the look in his/her eyes is warm, open, accepting and understanding.
• Its that feeling when we don't have it; we search for it; when we discover it; we don't know what to do with it; when we have it; we fear losing it.
• When all you want in life is to see him/her happy.

 This is my idea of love... people who are already in love know better.
