You ask "How do I know if I am in Love?"
Love is a path that you follow, not a destination that you seek.
To be in love is to be blinded. To be deafened. To be dumb.
To be in love is to see the world around you as a gift.
not to yourself, but to the one you love.
Everything you see, every place you go, everything to do...
...your only thought is to offer it to the one you love.
You wake each morning reaching for him or her...
...before you open your eyes.
You can't fall asleep without the touch of one you love.
This person is your world. Your reason for breathing.
No one else can even catch your eye.
No one else can hold your attention.
you are in love
you are in love WITH love
- that is love
everything else is either "like" or "lust"
You may say "don't tell you that I'll know it when it happens..."
but the simple fact is...
You'll know.
The problem is that most people have not yet "known" love, and thus cannot answer your question. And of the few who have lived it, many have lost it, because it was not mutual.
- it's a path you take
in your heart, you know the way, and you know the reasons.
And if you are lucky, the journey will last your entire life!
that, is love.
