Okay I know what you are thinking, this is about to be some mushy gushy another one of those posts girls keep sharing on Facebook. Well, you're right.
After a rough couple months, sleepless nights, your moments of doubt and unclarity, when you're sitting with all your friends talking about life and you're just like I don't know anything anymore... you never thought that you'd be able to believe the phrase, "when you know, you know." I understand if you think it is crazy, if you think it's dumb, or cheesy (maybe a little), but that doesn't mean it can't be true.
Because when you know, oh you'll know.
Everything that didn't work out before, everything you have been questioning about yourself and others will all make sense. Everything will make sense when you find someone that makes you say, when you know, you know. Why? Because you will know when you are happy, you will know when you are feeling some warm, fuzzy, happy feeling you've never felt before. When you look at them, and they're just sitting there. When you feel them lying next to you, and you just wanna smile. When you're riding in the car and you couldn't imagine anyone else in that driver or passenger seat. When you're going through your pictures and you are so glad you have them to cherish every moment of your happiness. When you're falling asleep at night and can't wait to wake up the next morning and wish them a good day. When you can't wait for them to get off work because not only do you miss them, you just want to hear how their day was. When you aren't only worried about when you'll see them next, but you're also wanting to know what they're doing, what exciting thing happened today, how class was, etc.
When it's more than just the hugs and kisses.
It's the best of both worlds when you always feel the spark, and you always get butterflies even though it's been a few months. Even when you just saw them yesterday, you're getting butterflies walking out to their car or pulling up to their house. That's special, and you just know. When you can talk about anything and everything, the good, the bad, the ugly and still admire them with everything you've got. Don't let that go. Hold on tight. It's about life, then, now and in the future. It's about your values, your morals, your beliefs. It's about what your strengths and weaknesses are. It's about growing together, in every aspect. When you can do that, and when you want to do that and they want to do that with you. You know you've found someone amazing. When you are on the same page, and have something to grow from like God.... You might be looking into the eyes of the one.
I said it, the one.
When they are in it for more than just you. I mean your family, and when you are in it for theirs. When there is effort there in all aspects of the relationship. When they respect not only you, but your family too. When they want to spend time with your family and don't argue otherwise. When they want to hear about your family, your traditions, your memories. When they actually enjoy hearing these things.. and aren't just saying it. When you see the way they talk about their own family and it makes you melt. When you see the way they interact with YOUR family and you melt even more. When you have tough times, sickness, death, and they support you through it all. When they aren't afraid to be there for you, or aren't afraid to talk about the hard stuff.
When your heart just wants to burst with joy.
When you want to cry of happiness. When you know this is it, this is what you want, this is what you didn't know I needed.
When you know, you know.
And I know. I never want to lose you. You've been a light in my life, and you kept at the most unexpected yet perfect time. I wouldn't want it any other way. I thank God for you, I talk to God about you, and I can't wait to see what he's got in store for us. Thank you for being such a blessing, thank you for being you.
I love you, you know?
