Checklist of Love

How does one know when their in love? Its an almost ritualistic and mundane question. But really, how does one know? Here's my check list that tells me:

1) when my heart flutters and races when I see her, or when I'm with her

2) when my heart slows and hastens rhythmically when we're in deep loving embrace

3) when nothing in the world can tear us apart when we're kissing, and nothing else matters

4) when we're apart and she's with friends and I'm at work or where ever, I check my phone every five seconds for her message

5)when I'm feeling down, just looking at her picture or hearing her voice on the phone, or when I'm with her and she smiles with such sincerity; all sorrows and dull feelings melt away, and in its stead and wave of joy and a warm fuzzy feeling fills the void

6) the smell of her hair, her touch on my skin, and the warmth of her breath on my face drives me wild

7) when she says I love you, or calls me baby or darling, though few and far between, I feel in turn loved and am filled with such euphoria that my heart becomes impervious to hurt or injury

8) hearing her voice when I wake up, and just before sleeping puts me in such ease and comfort that none can rip this calm away from me

9) when staring into her eyes, I get lost; twirling in a limbo of love

10) when she laughs, no matter how hysterically, it never fails to put a smile on my face

11) every waking moment, she's constantly in my mind. Unable to shake it off, nor divert my thoughts away

12) she's the only one I want to be with, to have by my side

. . . well this is what I have for now. Heh, if more comes to mind it'll definitely appear here :)

Nothing extravagant really, but its true to how I feel. And all these, my baby makes me feel. I love you so much Eve.
