YOU KNOW


You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you.

When you can see their face when you close your eyes.
When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight long after they are gone.
When you can still taste their kiss after you have said good-bye.

You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they are gone.

When their voice lingers in your ears.
When their presence eases any pain.
When their name sends chills down your spine.
When they are the only thing you can think about.

You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes.

When they call you at four in the morning and say, "I love you" and mean it.
When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart.
When they are hurt just because of these tears.
When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory.

Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them, and can't figure, how did you live before you knew them.

When they fulfill every need and without them you are incomplete.

The love of someone else completes the heart, and soul, and mind all at once.
