How do you know you love someone? No, it's not love when you fall in it each day, each week, and every time with a different person! True love is when you fall in it, with the same person, again and again... it's true when the person you are in love with means the world to you.
For some, love is physical closeness, for some it is in being together and spending life together. But that's not all what love is about. Sacrificing what you badly want, for the person you are in love with, is love. We all yearn for love. Each of us wants a trustworthy companion, true?
That 'someone' who accepts you the way you are, who understands you more than you do. Someone, who is always there for you. Love is unconditional, the person whom you love becomes your life. So what do you think, are you in love with someone...?
