Musings: When do you know it is love?

in #love6 years ago
Being love-struck can be a very daunting challenge because, you become so scared and always on your toes waiting to answer the "call." heart-24011__480.pngsource
Love is life and a life without love is incomplete. Love makes the world thrive and come alive and because I that, I never stop talking about the need for us to love one another. Agape or the intimate kind of love always does come rushing with some adrenaline that leaves us feeling great and happier than we were before it hit us.

When and how did you come to fall in love?

I have only till date fallen in love with the opposite sex twice. Yes, twice. I still remember the first time that happened. It was strange and although it felt and still feels good, it was strange.
I cannot remember if every lady I had intimate relationship with was about love, but I remember that very first time I was love-struck. It was beyond emotional or sexually intimacy, it was real and I felt it, because it didn't happen very often for me.cupid-1199067__480.pngsource
It happened in my early 20s and I was sure it was it because the feeling "practically killed me". I couldn't sleep without thinking about her and I couldn't stop wanting to see her. I was always known to be a restless young man for as long as I can remember, but with her, it was different. I was calm and always will listen to her speak. I was always telling my friends and folks about her because, she was the very true meaning to living happy (for me).
I Feel Blessed!
Do you know how you feel when your heart skips a beat because something happened? Well, my heart could skip a beat a dozen times in the space of 10 minutes and I will have goosebumps just by talking to her. Puppy love right? Wrong, I had those as a teenager.
This one was different, it was strange and lovely altogether. I would write poems and love letters and just do practically everything I could to make sure she was happy. It wasn't about sex as most people will classify love, it was more of a fellowship.
Being in love is so cool when, an amazing individual accepts you for who you are and what you will be and then goes a step further to accommodate you in their lives. You become the center of their world and they too yours.

If is was love, why aren't we together?

Saying "I LOVE YOU" sincerely and having someone say it right back in that same amount or more, has got to be the most beautiful feeling a man will ever have. I didn't get to live the fantasies because, like in life and the movies, lovers seldom find their happy ending, (although Shrek did and I hope like him I find my Fiona) and I still cannot explain why.
It took me a long time to get over that person and looking back now, there are these nolstagic feelings about those days that sends me back in time and I will give anything to live in those moments just for a day.
I like to talk about love and pray I keep giving my best. In love, it is not guaranteed that we will all find the equal amount of love we give, but what is guaranteed is, we will leave the world a tad better because we cared to love.

Am I in love now? Do I believe in love? Is there something a true love?

Yes. Yes and Yes. Maybe because, I dream and dream dangerously, I tend to believe that love makes the world go round, but I believe in love. There is always that special someone that puts the beats to your heart ♥, it may not look like it but when they come your way, the feeling will get you.
Mine got me and still gets me everytime and I see myself wanting nothing else but that feeling of fellowship with that special person.

Make the world a better place for someone today!

Hummmmm...... Love is very real and sweet o especially when you are with the right person..... Before i met this special person about three month now, my life in the world of love have been meaningless but when God brought him oh! I can boldly tell people now that there is something call true love from God.. I will advice us not to give up on God and love coz there is always a right person somewhere for you.

I remember this instance when I was set up with my crush by my friends at the back of the school stage.
I was so embarrassed that I can't even say a word to her.
Years later I saw her again but it was different, the love that made my heart beat just isn't there anymore. @ejemai
I am glad that we didn't fell for each other.

Sometimes, love would seem like it's not existing when we love the wrong person and get treated badly. Most of the people shouting that "love is dead" are only speaking from sad experiences. Deep down within them, they know that love is very real, alive and everywhere. We just have to open our eyes and focus on the right things in order for us to see and find it. And when someone has truly found love, he/she can hardly forget such moment. I've found mine already and I'm working on it daily to get better. Your story is quite emotional. Hope you find love again!

Thanks @resuscitate, I am happy for you finding love and also being able to distinguish between the negatives and the positives. Keep the fire burning, tell that person you love them whenever you can and stay loved.
Stay awesome!

Love is a beautiful thing. It is sometimes difficult though to differentiate infatuation from Real love because they feel the same most times. Its my opinion however that love doesn't die. Infatuation ends after a while but if you love someone, you're always going to having that special feeling even if it person is already with someone else.

@penauthor

Love indeed is a beautiful thing and you cannot deny that. It comes with its own special kind of feeling that leaves you drunk/stupid/crazy in a good and weird way.
Stay awesome!

Wow, I love this post about love ..its a perfect example to someone like me who is still seeking for the true meaning of love!
