whats love got to do, got to do with it...

When you love someone you know how to make them smile, you know how to make them feel safe, you know almost everything about that them, and love learning more each day. When you love someone you want them to be the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night. You're able to go to be upset with him/her and wake up and talk things through, you're able tell them anything and know that it's okay. That person knows exactly what to say or do to make everything better than it was a minute earlier. They know that telling you to think of a blue duck will make you smile and help you through a bad day, and to think of blue ducks with mohawks when it's truly an awful day. They know that telling you something so random that no one else would appreciate could make your day and you know you can tell them something just the same and it's just as sweet. They know how to make you stop crying and when to just let you cry. They know how to hold you. Being in love or loving your bestfriend is an amazing connection and its an emotional rollercoaster, and I personally think its truly worthwhile. Including the bad nights and heartaches, it's all worth it in the end. Cuz in the end its that person that can do all of this, that you'll ultimately grow old with, in one way or another.

I also think that love consists of trust deeper than anything you've ever dreamed of. When you're in love or love someone you'd stop the world from moving just so you could spend a few more seconds with them before they leave. You don't mind getting up early to take them to class and (like i also already said) you can take a shower with them and actually shower. Love is feeling like everything is right when you look at them, love is knowing that there couldn't be anything better than what you have for this moment in time. Love is being able to run into their arms and they wont question why, they'll just understand. They'll spend crazy amounts of time just to plan a surprise for you. They'll remember your favorite restaurant but won't take you there as often as you ask, cuz they know that you'll grow sick of it if you're there too often. Love is saying 'i love you' whenever you feel like it, and hearing it back just when you need it, with as much feeling behind the words as the actual meaning of those three simple words.

There is so much about love that people either don't want to understand or really don't understand, and I'm not sitting here saying that I understand what the full concept of love is, but i've got a fairly good idea. Love is something you can have, but the true love that everyone searches for comes into your life when you're least expecting it and will turn your whole world upside, whether you're ready for it or not. It takes work to get through all the things love has to offer, you have to be patient and willing to forgive and adjust little things about your life. Commit to what it has to offer to you, because the fear of committing because you're scared of what might happen if you get your heartbroken is truly the only thing holding you back from falling in love. Yes you'll probably get your heartbroken, at least once, and it hurts more than the last time, Every Time... but it's something I'm willing to risk, because when it's all said and done, I'll know that I've given everything I have and put myself on the line, and there will be a time where I won't hurt anymore and he'll love me more than I would have ever imagined someone loving me. And maybe that's why I'm as happy as I am now, I have never imagined having someone love me as much as someone really does. Promise that when you find someone who can make you a better person, who can make you smile with the silly things that only you both understand, the person who you would rather fall asleep with than anyone in the world, the person who just has to look you in the eyes and you know what they want to say to you, the person who makes you smile when you think about them, hold on to that, don't smother it, but hold tight enough so they'll never want to leave you. But if that person does, then you know that you'll find something better, because things happen for a reason, everything does, and you'll be a better person to show that person what they lost, and maybe they'll come back to you, but you don't have to take them back. Make wise choices and follow your heart, but trust your instincts as well, because ultimately the combination of the two will point you in the direction you're to take.
