I've never felt what it is to be in love.
And although I long for it,
I don't want it bad enough to force anything that is not true.
But
I am prepping myself.

They will ask me "how did you know you were in love?"

Most people would say,
"It's unexplainable"

But me?

I'd allow my lips to part
Revealing a deep intimate smile.

How did I know?
And I'd explain.

I knew I was in love when I felt a happiness that made me feel alive.
It's one thing to just live,
But it's another to feel- alive.
I had never felt something so crisp.
When the sun is setting and suddenly
The whole sky turns into a canvas,
It's that unbelievable feeling that
someone must have used a palette to paint colors across the sky
and
It leaves you breathless.
Falling in love leaves you breathless.
It is unexpected,
like the spectrum of colors that hit your vision.

How did I know?
And I'd explain.

I've waited so long for something that I thought would be unexplainable.
So when I found something that could be explained through the help of little aspects in life,
I knew.
I just knew.
