The Power of Love


When you love someone, everything about them starts to become infinitely better. You look at them like it’s the first time all the time, and I know they say that butterflies stand for nervousness, but it's not the anxiousness in your stomach, but more of a warmth in your soul whenever they are on your mind or in front of you. Even if you hated music, you’d still love the melody in their laugh and the song in their voice. You can walk downstairs to buy a gallon of milk and within the twenty feet you will find something that’ll remind you of them. It’s as easy as seeing their favorite color or a stranger order coffee the same way they would’ve. And as you start everyday, you wish the sun would neer set so you’d never have to miss a conversation you would have if sleep wasn’t necessary.

When someone loves you, they will find their way to you and you won’t have to ask them to come meet you in the middle just for five minutes. They will want to. They will want to listen to you rant about your current mood and listen to you when you are stressed about everything for no reason, especially when you stress over nothing. They will touch you with tenderness, kiss you with the softness they inhabit, and when you are close enough to feel their heartbeat, you know it’s for you. You’ll be able to see the electricity in their eyes and the fire in their soil whenever you are together, enough to light up the world and even the sea nor heaviest rainstorm can burn you out. It’s always a special moment with them, even if it’s the simplest things such as taking a walk or drinking tea on a chilly day, and eve.n that’ll be more than ordinary. And as this person continues to stay in your life, you’ll realize how deserving people are of love, especially y.ourself.
