Recognizing Love
It's really hard to tell if you're in love. Some people dive into the thought too easily, while others can't see it even if it's right in front of their face. I'm one of the later, and I'm still having a hard time figuring out if I'm in love, or I just think I am.
I'm balanced in between these two ideas. I don't know exactly what love feels like, but I know exactly what it doesn't feel like. It's hard to even think that I might be in love.
I came across the idea last night. I was talking to a friend, and now I don't know where we stand, when we stumbled upon a conversation that would have taken years to come to. My head was swimming, my heart was pumping, and my stomach was filled with metaphorical butterflies. I couldn't help but think that I was actually in love at that moment. It was hard not to.
Now here, me and that same person sit at opposite ends of the US thinking, "Was that it?" Is that all we will ever come to? Just two people who met, at chance, on the internet sharing crazy stories and shadowed dreams until we know each other by heart. We have never met, but we think of the possibility everyday day we grow closer.
It has been about a year since we met, we hardly know each other's faces, but we would be able to recognize each other even in a crowded place. We know each other that well, but the distance between us physically is a problem.
People say that they believe in true love at first sight, but what if there was a situation were they didn't see each other at first? What if it was like my situation? Would it be true love at first word? Could it even be that? I, myself, am still having a hard time processing this situation, but if I actually met him, what would happen?
I wish that I knew what love actually felt like; it would be so much easier to recognize. But I guess things in life have to be tough. Not everything can be easy, and if it were, where would we be?
