Falling In Love

So you fall in love, then what? I mean what happens next? People say ’I’m
falling in love’ or ‘I fell in love’ but it’s like, you fall but what
happens after you stop falling? Do you just sit there? Falling in love is
this amazing feeling, as I’ve heard, every single solitary emotion and
feeling goes into this huge ball of crystallized material to never be
forgotten. The shaking, the smiling, the laughing, the waiting, the day
dreaming, the sharing, everything all together good and bad makes falling in
love this undeniable joyful experience better than the rest. It’s better
than the ice cream truck to a seven year old. It’s better than the monkey’s
in a zoo to a small child ready to see the world. It’s better than waking up
on Christmas day. It’s better then a dream you will hold in your heart for
the rest of time.

I like to think that the falling never stops. You just keep falling. You
keep the funny pain feelings in your stomach whenever they walk by, you keep
the Goosebumps on your heart every time they say exactly the right thing at
exactly the right time, and each time they brush up against you, you forget
everything for a minute or two and you can’t help but smile. Because that’s
the real thing.

I think when you find yourself falling in love with a person, it’s probably
meant to happen. You’ll know when the trial period is over, and you realize
all the other’s meant a lot, you weren’t in love but they meant so much to
you. You know when you’re in love, because they mean everything. It’s fate
inside of you, everyone means to fall in love at some point. If it was in
your soul to do it, then fate would just take you there, all the others are
just a test to see if you’re the real thing. Skeptical? You’ll see…
