The greatest thing youll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

You're my dream come true, My one, and only you.. (-The Platters - "Only You")

Love is my reason to wake up in the morning.. To carry on.. its my reason to be. Love love love, ahh what it is to love.. to be loved.. such a beautiful thing.. 

You know, I truly believe love is one of the greatest things that humans are capable of.  Love is a gift, an innocent, pure, miraculous gift.  Its one of those things that sets us apart from everything else.  We have the capability of emotions and to love others so deeply..  Love is a beautiful thing.  It's hard to fully understand it even until you are able to experience true love (which I do believe exists for everyone). 

When it's love, you'll know it.  You'll get that feeling deep in the pit of your stomach.. The butterflies when he looks at you that special way, or the way he touches your cheek.  You can always hear it in the way they speak to you.  Any guy who thinks you look cute in pajamas with your make up all over your face and your hair a mess first thing in the morning and still thinks you look beautiful.. That, my friend, is a man in love.

The one person that makes you swoon, that 'oo lala' love, the one that would give you the moon, the stars, and the sky if he could.  He would do anything just to see a smile on your face.  And she would be there for him at any time, day or night.  She would listen to him and encourage him, always supportive of his decisions.

You know it's love.  Love inspires.  Love is beauty.  Love is the farthest and closest thing to perfection any one in this world will ever have.  Love should be crazy and wild and out of this world! playful, fabulous, wonderful love.. ahhh!!.. 

Tricky tricky though love can be.  Sneaks up on you when you least expect it.. Can never find it when you look for it.  So everyone stop your searching!  It is probably right under your nose.. So sly, that thing called love..

Love should be fun and full of laughter and ridiculous moments.  Without the moments of ridiculousness and all of those memories.. what would be left?  Not every love has to be your fairy tale romance or even a movie/book romance.. Each love blossoms into something truly unique and beautiful every time.. And that's the best part about love.  It's different for every couple, shaped to their qualities and quirks.

Love is total acceptance of another being into your heart and trusting them with everything you hold dear.  Its an all night conversation.  It's more than a feeling.  It's a first everything.  It's a lesson in life.. a "goodnight" kiss.  It's a see you later, no more goodbyes. Love is what we make it, precious, lustful, beautiful, blossoming, forever-changing.. It's the bliss you feel when you see that special person smile at you, knowing that they are all yours always, and there is no one who can take that away from you.  It's wondering How did I ever get so lucky?  There are no words to describe... It's like leaping over the moon.. its a constant celebration..

People forget too often the beauty of life and get too bogged down by the demands of life.  Sometimes, we all just need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and remember how lucky we are and how wonderful life can be.. especially when you are lucky enough to have your prince charming to share it with. 

Go ahead and call me a sap if you want, and maybe I am.  But when you find that one special person, the one you know is your soul mate.. the one you could spend forever with .. you'll understand what I'm talking about.  You will all agree with me one day.... :-)

Love is Heaven on Earth.
