Musings: When do you know it is love?

Being love-struck can be a very daunting challenge because, you become so scared and always on your toes waiting to answer the "call." source

Love is life and a life without love is incomplete. Love makes the world thrive and come alive and because I that, I never stop talking about the need for us to love one another. Agape or the intimate kind of love always does come rushing with some adrenaline that leaves us feeling great and happier than we were before it hit us.

When and how did you come to fall in love?

I have only till date fallen in love with the opposite sex twice. Yes, twice. I still remember the first time that happened. It was strange and although it felt and still feels good, it was strange.

I cannot remember if every lady I had intimate relationship with was about love, but I remember that very first time I was love-struck. It was beyond emotional or sexually intimacy, it was real and I felt it, because it didn't happen very often for me.source

It happened in my early 20s and I was sure it was it because the feeling "practically killed me". I couldn't sleep without thinking about her and I couldn't stop wanting to see her. I was always known to be a restless young man for as long as I can remember, but with her, it was different. I was calm and always will listen to her speak. I was always telling my friends and folks about her because, she was the very true meaning to living happy (for me).

I Feel Blessed!

Do you know how you feel when your heart skips a beat because something happened? Well, my heart could skip a beat a dozen times in the space of 10 minutes and I will have goosebumps just by talking to her. Puppy love right? Wrong, I had those as a teenager.

This one was different, it was strange and lovely altogether. I would write poems and love letters and just do practically everything I could to make sure she was happy. It wasn't about sex as most people will classify love, it was more of a fellowship.

Being in love is so cool when, an amazing individual accepts you for who you are and what you will be and then goes a step further to accommodate you in their lives. You become the center of their world and they too yours.

If is was love, why aren't we together?

Saying "I LOVE YOU" sincerely and having someone say it right back in that same amount or more, has got to be the most beautiful feeling a man will ever have. I didn't get to live the fantasies because, like in life and the movies, lovers seldom find their happy ending, (although Shrek did and I hope like him I find my Fiona) and I still cannot explain why.

It took me a long time to get over that person and looking back now, there are these nolstagic feelings about those days that sends me back in time and I will give anything to live in those moments just for a day.

I like to talk about love and pray I keep giving my best. In love, it is not guaranteed that we will all find the equal amount of love we give, but what is guaranteed is, we will leave the world a tad better because we cared to love.

Am I in love now? Do I believe in love? Is there something a true love?

Yes. Yes and Yes. Maybe because, I dream and dream dangerously, I tend to believe that love makes the world go round, but I believe in love. There is always that special someone that puts the beats to your heart ♥, it may not look like it but when they come your way, the feeling will get you.

Mine got me and still gets me everytime and I see myself wanting nothing else but that feeling of fellowship with that special person.
