Contest Those notes you wrote me, I've kept them all -BIG POINTS- by Chameleon BoyEdit

Prompt

Love is an amazing thing, and I like to tell all the people at all the shows that when you really do fall in love, it kinda tears your heart from your chest and makes you feel really vulnerable, and it makes you feel like you can’t eat and you can’t sleep and you wait by the fucking phone all day long. Besides that shit, it’s the best thing you’ve ever felt in your life, six months to a year, two years, whatever that first little period of your relationship, it dominates every other feeling in your body, and I think that’s truely living. - Thomas DeLonge

Write to me about what the above quote means to you - or makes you think about love. Whether it being love is great, or horrible. The quote was spoken before the musician, Tom DeLonge, sang a song called "There Is", which is in the link below.
