love:

when i was in middle school, i would hear all the older kids whisper to each other "i love you" and i just thought to myself, oh grow up, you don't know what love is, that's ridiculous. but now, i'm one of them and i love it. i've always felt i knew what love was like in past relationships, but i was wrong. i thought it was love because it was all i knew, but this time it's different. love is when you care about someone so much, you're sad when they aren't around and you never cease to think about them. it's having your heart stop when they look at you, forgetting how to breathe when they touch you and send shivers up your spine. all those butterflies in your stomach when they say your name the intensity of a first kiss, how you never want to see that person hurt. you would do everything in your power to make them happy, whether that be a hug or letting them go but enjoying them while you have them. love have no rules and knows no limits.
