You know you are in love when that one person is the first thing you think about in the morning, the last thing you think about at night.  When it hurts having to go even five minutes without talking to that person.  Wanting to be with him, hold him, look into his eyes.  When you close your eyes and all you see is his face looking back at you. 

You know you're in love when you can actually see yourself in the delivery room with that person, having a child with them.  You can see yourself growing old with that person, and you cry because you can see a little old couple walking down the street hand in hand still as much in love as they were when they were in their 20's. 

You know you're in love when the longing to be near them is almost too much to bear.  Not being able to see that person tears at your heart.  When but a thought of them brings a smile to your face bigger than you have ever had.  When just the mere mention of their name has you looking over your shoulder to see if they are there.

You know you're in love when the daydreams of what you hope will be, you know will be.  When you can close your eyes and throw your arms out to hug them and actually feel that they are there.  When you know mind bod and soul that they love you back and will never do anything to hurt you.

You know you're in love when you feel that you will never fight with that person, but hope to just so you can kiss and make up.  When you start listening to those sappy love songs that you dont like just hoping that they will make you think of that person, and they do.

You know you're in love when you drive your friends nuts with they did this, and they said that, all day, every day.  When you have a big ole smile on your face and can't seem to get it off because they are still on your mind.  When you start thinking, oh they will like this and you buy it knowing it will bring a smile to their face.

You know you're in love when you find yourself acting like an idiot when their moods are down just to try to bring a smile to their face.  When you just put your arms around them and hold them because they have had a bad day.  When you can talk for hours and hours and never run out of new things to say.

You know you're in love when you can finish their sentences and have never even met them.  When you feel like you have known them all your life, yet you have only known them a brief period of time.  When you can't imagine your life without them in it, nor would you want to.

You know you're in love when you can sit with that person and not say anything yet feel like you have had the best conversation in the world.  When you count down the days, the hours, the moments until you can lay your eyes on them again. 

You know you're in love when you feel like turning cartwheels and doing backflips just because they said your name, and yor heart actually does.  When everything that made little or no sense before starts making sense.  When all you want to do is sing because you have talked to that person, or caught a glimpse of them. 

You know you're in love when you try to reach through the computer screen trying to touch them because they can't be there with you. When all thoughts of ending up alone forever just seem to disappear, never to be heard from again.

That's When You Know You Are In Love!
