"Surf life by the tides it throws you"

LOVE. AMOR. AMOUR. AMORE. SAYANG. RAKKOUS. What do all these words have in common? The same underlying concept of how one should feel. If you ask a little kid, they might say "ew." If you ask an adult who has been in this thing called love, they might say something more profound and shocking. But if you ask me, I'd tell you something totally different, something you won't expect to hear.

Not only does love have the physical attraction towards someone, but it also have the emotional attraction. Love is when that person will be there no matter how good or bad your day went. Love is when you can lay there forever, matching heartbeats, not saying one word. Love is even though when you are many miles apart, you know they are always in your heart where ever you go. Love is learning to live the life you have been given and accepting those in it for who they are. Love is knowing that each others families means a lot to them even though sometimes they don't show it. Love is not saying goodbye every night, but see you later. Love is waking up to a text that says, "just wanted to tell you that I am finally falling asleep...and all I can do is think about you the past few hours and how much I love you." Love is thinking about someone so much, they bring tears of happiness. Love is knowing that wherever we each may end up, we will still be together. Love is when they surprise you in the morning by showing up at your door step with their arms open wide. Love is the understanding that the future may not be clear right now but will work together on making it clear. Love is countless hours talking on the phone about anything under the moon...eventually talking about anything under the sun. Love is knowing that I've had a bad day through text without speaking one word to them. Love is playing your song on repeat. Love is looking into their eyes and not seeing them, or you, but yourselves together. Love is them understanding my past, believing in our future, and accepting me for who I am. Love is trying so hard to say goodnight, but can't.

This love I have for you is special, not like anything before. It grows each day, with each time we talk, each action you do. No one can change this love I have for you. No one! 143679!
