When Do You Know That You Are In Love ???

Well this is one answer that I’ve always wanted to know. I’ve asked a lot of them, some ridicule it, some are really confused jus like me and some are clueless. I bet this piece of writing is going to sound so much like the forward mails that one tends to get once in a while.

There’s this dialogue in the film Matrix, where Oracle tells Neo; “Being the one is just like being in love. No one can tell you that you're in love; you just know it, through and through”. When you are actually in love with someone, no else but you will know. One way to know: It'll be a feeling you have never felt before, but again no one can precisely tell you what that feeling will be. Saying that, I stumbled over a very nice definition about love; “Love is the emotional experience of wanting nothing but good for someone. Love is a feeling that slightly varies from person to person. For that one reason no one can precisely tell you if you're in love”. Actually speaking, there is no way to explain love; people say about it's your heart. The only way possible or at least, the least likely way to explain love is just to be in perfect cohesion with someone.

You are in love, when; Even if she changes, you know that you will still love her with everything that you have. You care about him more than you care about yourself. Sometimes you know that you can't fulfill all her needs, but she is one of the top priorities in your life. She means so much to you. You love and appreciate her for who she is. You don't even want to change her at all. You enjoy her company and you like talking to her, too. Some of the things that she likes to do and you don't like doing, but it's worth the sacrifice. It's worth letting her be happy and enjoying her past-times.

When the feeling she gives you is one that you will sacrifice any part of yourself. When imagining its loss causes you physical pain, when you must lie to yourself and all around you to keep from facing a reality that is plain to see, this might be love. When being around with her makes you so acutely aware of yourself, your ego, appearance, shortcomings, strengths, weaknesses - to the point it controls every thought in your mind and everyone else appears in two - dimensions. Sitting next to her, silently cursing her faults for hours till you hear her scream :)

When you love someone you can't stand to be apart from them for a very long period of time. You heart begins to yearn for them from almost the moment you say goodbye. But it is more than just missing them. When you love someone and I mean truly love them no sacrifice is too great to make for them. You go out of your way to make them feel loved and do all those little things that mean so much to them. You put their needs on equal and sometimes greater footing than your own.

I’ve also picked up these from the web: Your heart beats faster when you hear her name; she is the only person that you want to be with; no one else is even worth looking at; you would walk/travel miles just to see her; you will do everything in your power to make her happy; when every small thing makes you think of her; when you know that you won't see each other for a while, you end up crying; you go to sleep thinking about her and u wake up doing the same; you prefer to spend every moment with her; silence doesn't bother you anymore; she is not only your lover, but also your best friend; you can share anything with her; she is there when times are rough; when you say I love you and you really mean it.

I must say that these are few things that I believe will make us skip a beat or two, telling us that its got to be love – Can’t be universal for sure.
