Love

As many of you know, I am a hopeless romantic and a dreamer. I've always believed in chivalry, flowers, "love at first sight", and all that other crap that hopeless romantics do.

I've had this daydream for sometime now where I walk in the door and she rushes to my arms as if she hasn't seen me in years. We can't help but to smile and stare into each other's eyes as I hold her. I use my fingertips to push her hair away from her pretty face. My thumb rubs her cheek as my palm gently holds her jawline. The tips of our noses start to rub and we begin to kiss.....

In my mind it is much more vivid--too vivid for words. I can smell her perfume. I can taste her lips. I can feel her warmth and hear her heartbeat racing.

Cheesy, eh?? Well, that is my idea of romance and love. I believe that love is a mutual explosion of emotions between two people. When it happens, we will both know almost instantly. Just the thought of the person gives you goosebumps and you can't help but smile. For me--even the thought of being in love gives me goosebumps.

I want my love to long for my touch, as I will be longing for hers. I want her to dream of our future together--our wedding, our home, vacations to Europe, our children and their children. Even as we grow old, we would still go for drives in the country to find somewhere quiet to make-out just like first loves do. On our deathbeds, we would both know our love would never die.

I am not sure if I have truly been in love. I have said "I love you" to two girls in my life. I thought it was love, but looking back, I am not so sure. I've always said that I would go anywhere or do anything to make her happy. If it is true love-- then no sacrifice will be too large. I feel that when I meet her, I will just know it's who I have been waiting for.
