today for the NaBloPoMo prompt: “What does it feel like to fall in love?”
What does it feel like to fall hopelessly and madly in love? How does it happen and when? When the time is right and all the planets align fate takes its course. It is destiny. Two people meet. Immediately, there is a physically mutual attraction which is pure chemistry. You look into each other’s eyes and sparks fly. Your pulse speeds up. You finish each other’s sentences. You understand each other on a deeply spiritual level. You feel happy whenever you are together and as if something is missing when you are not together. You laugh at each other’s silly jokes and seem to connect on every single level.
Your heart pines for that person when you
are apart and rejoices when you see them or hear their voice again. You always have something to say to each other
and you realize as time passes that you never want to be without that person
because without them you are nothing.
That person completes you like no other ever has. You are at peace. You are over the moon. Nothing else is as important as being with
that person. It is as if all the light
goes out of the world when they are not at your side and the sun, moon, stars
and all lights in the world illuminate when you are together. Even better, not only does that dear soul
care deeply what happens to you they want nothing more than to have you be the
last thing they see before they shut their eyes at night and the first thing
that they see when they wake up in the morning.
You feel safe when you are together.
Before long you wonder how you ever lived
without that person in your life and you realize that without them, nothing
else matters. Before you even know what has hit, you fall
in love and life is never quite the same again.
You feel euphoric, as if you have won a million dollars, like dancing, kicking
up your heels, and laughing yourself silly.
It is when sparks fly, love ignites, anything is possible, and nothing
will ever be quite the same again. You
just know!
Okay Kathy... Um NO. Just no.. I know you understand where I'm coming from.. ;)
ReplyDeleteMiMi, yes I know why you are jaded my dear friend. Bad relationships tend to do that to a person. Right after my divorce to Mr. Nightmare, I shared your opinion. Then fate took its course and I met my soul mate. So life has a way of working out the way it should. Sometimes the path you take to get you where you always need to be is lined with big ass potholes and you learn as you go but it also helps you really appreciate that little slice of heaven when you finally get it. Thank you for stopping in to read and for your comments.
DeleteIt's really nice when you keep falling in love with the same person over and over again too. Love is such an amazing feeling and emotion, isn't it Kathy?
ReplyDeleteM.J. Joachim, it truly is and a true blessing to a person's life. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
DeleteOf course, love sucks when it all goes to crap - which is my experience of it. :D But yeah, it's great while it's good!
ReplyDeleteTrisha, no truer words ever uttered!! Great when it is good, but sucks awful when it is bad. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments!
Deleteyep...that's about the size of it!!! Although I'd met my guy when we were kids and we weren't even really friends, my heart did flip flops when he sent me a friend request. Scared the hell out of me. How fast I fell for him scared me too. Now I can't imagine life without him and it kills me that we finally hooked up when we were nearly 50 instead of years ago.
ReplyDeleteJoJo, isn't it amazing the journey life takes us on? I think it is cool that you knew Russell when you were a kid and somehow managed to end up together when you weren't ever really friends in the past. Suffice to say that you probably needed to wait for him until now so you would appreciate what a gem he truly is. Back then, you just didn't see it. Fate took its course and I am so happy for you! Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
DeleteBut better than the sparks that ignite, is when you can belt out the chorus and sing along since you know your other so well.
ReplyDeleteMrs, Tuna, exactly...and that just underlines the fact you are meant to be together especially if you are decidedly off key and having the time of your life at the time. LOL Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
DeleteWell..yeah...you covered almost everything I guess.
ReplyDeleteA magical feeling indeed. More like a blend of hmm...hmm....let say a well known fact & a fantasy! :D :)
Well put Kathy!

Nikhil, so pleased you thought so. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
DeleteDon't faint!! It is only me!! LOL. Sparks fly-- but what really hit me when I met my husband is that I KNEW...I knew the moment I laid eyes on him that he was the one. Call it a gut, intuition, or whatever-- it was like my soul said "that's your mate." and he was. :)
ReplyDeleteSweet post!
Jenn, I had that same feeling when I met mine too! Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
DeleteJenn & Kathy, Ditto for me! :) Just one look & I knew! It's great when sparks fly! :)
DeleteAnita, it is always nice when you just know!! Better that than to try to figure it out. ♥
DeleteWell said!! Being in love is a wonderful feeling, but being loved and appreciated in return can be the most wonderful experience that can happen to anybody's life.
ReplyDeleteShilpa, agreed. Being loved and appreciated too makes life worthwhile. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
DeleteI relate to the last line the most... "You just know" It happened with me *wink wink*
ReplyDeleteRicha
Richa, I think it works out best when you just know. A person should always follow their gut. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
