There is no single word or action that could describe what it feels like to be in love. You may have been in a relationship with someone and thought you were in love, but then someone special comes along, and then you realize what real love is like.
To be in love, is when you first see that special person in your life, and you cannot help but smile. They could be doing the most simple thing, like laughing, and that simple action fills your heart with joy. They could be messing around with their friends making fools of themselves, and all you can do is shake your head and accept the fact that this is just one thing you love about them. To watch them do something they love, such as a sport, only brings you happiness because you know they are happy as well.
To be in love. is not expecting fancy dinners or presents, but nothing at all because just their presence makes everything okay. It is the days you take spontaneous beach trips or to hike a mountain because why not do something fun together. It is also the days where it is raining and you can either dance in it, or stay inside to watch multiple movies, because anything with them is better than nothing at all. It is planning every vacation you are going to take together. It is the days you decide to eat as much food as you can, and the one day you decide to go to the gym. It is the days where they help you clean your room simply because you are lazy and well, two people make it go by faster.
To be in love is when you are leaving their house and they say to text them when you get home, that way they know you made it safely. It is every little message they send saying "Hey, I was just thinking about you" or "I saw this today and immediately thought of you". It is wanting to introduce them to your family because you know that your family will like them. They are the person that push you to be the best you can be, because they know you are capable of doing anything.They are the shoulder you cry on because without their shoulder, you know it would be silent into your pillow at night.
To be in love is when you are sitting watching something at night, and you look around you and think everything in the world at the moment is okay. Everything is simple, and you could not be more satisfied. It is that feeling of planning your future together because you have no fear of anything breaking you apart in the future. It is every "I love you", every hug, and every kiss.
To anyone that feels they are not loved this way, believe me when I say, it will happen one day. And when it does, I wish you nothing but happiness.
