- when you are so afraid of losing what you have, because you have the whooole world.
- when you begin to feel things so intensely that you realize you can no longer control your emotions, and deepest happiness or deepest sadness can utterly consume you.
- when secrets become impossible to keep, and you have to share your deepest fears and wants with them, or they eat your insides (the fears, not the person).
- you want to share their burdens.
- you can imagine your life as a grand and beautiful adventure with them, or as a terrible empty wasteland.
- you feel as though all your dreams are going to be fulfilled, and shocked and so grateful that your life is going to be wonderful.
- you could hold them in your arms forever.
- sometimes, especially after fighting or crying together, you'll have a moment where you see them and they are so impossibly beautiful to you that everything slows down, and looks different, and you can't speak it's so overwhelming.
- when their pain or disappointment causes you to feel physical pain sometimes.
- you want your children to look and be just like them, and feel terrible pain at the thought of having children with anyone else, and not wanting to.
- you want to be everything you've ever wanted to be and do everything you've ever wanted to do, with them.
- you can't wait to spend the rest of your life with them, and imagine them growing older and what it'll be like..
lol.. oh dear.. 'pain, pain, fear, pain, fear.' lol
