You asked me how you know when you are in love…well…I’m a sick romantic and believe in soul mates, believe that the person you end up marrying and spending the rest of your life with is the person you miss when they aren’t around, the person you can tell all your deep dark secrets to and know and trust that whatever you say isn’t going to change their opinion of you. They accept you for who and what you are…the good, the bad, and everything in between. Even when you say something that doesn’t seem to come out right, they still understand what you are trying to say. You can’t wait to talk to them or see them, and picture yourself old with them…picturing your future with them is key, not just picturing the next three to six years with them…but the next forty or fifty years with them. You can actually feel your heart smile when you think of them, and whatever missing piece you felt in your heart and life before is filled to the brim and overflowing.
