butterflies and bliss.

love...how do i describe something like love?  i dont think its something that can be put into words, its more just a chemical reaction inside us that overwhelms and consumes our thoughts in their entirety.  an emotion so profound and so blissful that no words exist in any language that could come anywhere near describing its incredible power.  1

i think its something you can't prepare for.  it comes at random and swallows you whole, perhaps slowly or perhaps quickly, but however long it takes, once it's settled in it's completely obvious.  and not just to yourself, but to those around you, as they will notice an extra shining aura  enveloping you in total happiness.  2

i'm a man, and i don't claim to know what all women want, but i know that many women who desire love simply want someone who will love them for who they are.  someone who takes interest in what they do, supports them in achieving whatever dreams or goals they have set out for themselves, and above all, someone who's not afraid to explain their feelings and be open.  trust and communication are the fundamental elements in a relationship; without these you can't expect any relationship to last for too long.  i see a love relationship as the epidome of friendship, for in order to be lovers, it is assumed that you must also be the best of friends.  3

being in love doesn't always have to be serious, either, as there will (and should) be times when two people in love can goof around and act crazy, doing things that would make outsiders wonder how much crack they'd been smoking.  it's about doing things together regardless of what anyone thinks, and in a way you begin to create your own little world together, a sort of fusion of the two personal and separate ones.  this isn't always necessary, but it does help to laugh whenever possible, especially when you can share the laughter with someone you love.4

love is about positivity and happiness.  if you feel neither of these with your lover then you should think twice about the way your relationship is working out.  i've been in love more than once, and i know that love is something that makes you happy beyond happy, something that makes you feel capable of doing anything, conquering the whole world and achieving everything you need to.  its about supporting one another and demonstrating the amount of love you feel for each other every day, whether you like to cuddle and kiss or not, its always important to do things like that with your lover...for if you didn't want to do such things with them, then how can you show them that you love them?5

what i like in a relationship is a woman that will listen.  i have quite a complicated head, and it really helps to know that someone is there that will listen to my thoughts and help me analyze them and cancel them out.  i like a woman that does her own thing and lets me do mine, someone who is able to embrace even the things about me that she doesnt particularly like , and respect and admire them anyway.  i like a woman who is affectionate, understanding, warm, cheerful, and caring.  this kind of support is what makes a love relationship so special.  6

love is something so powerful that when you think about your lover it gives you this feeling of butterflies and bliss, sends your mind soaring far above the tallest mountain, to the point where you feel that everyone can see and know the depth of your love.  more powerful than the strongest gravity, burning brighter than the largest star in the universe.  it must be something so apparent and so incredible that it smacks you in the face, dumbfounds you, bewilders you in a way that you've never been before.  and a big part of love is making sure that you treat your significant other well enough that they partake in this indescribable sentiment, in an ongoing cycle of commitment and intimacy that can last until forever ends and you search desperately for a new infinity to spend together.7

if you are in love, you'll know what i mean.8
