Been in love?

Someone, I don’t know who, said that, “love was a feeling you feel when you are about to feel a feeling you’ve never felt before!”

So I was just wondering, what’s it like to be in love?

Is it really like flying in the clouds with that weightless feeling that makes your insides turn or is it like floating on the waves in the high seas with the wind blowing through your hair and the water spraying sprinkles on your face? 

Is it like the delicious taste of the first bite of milk chocolate melting on your tongue or is it like the sharp tang of the first sip of sweet sparkling wine on a warm night? 

Is it like the soft delicate smell of a white rose in full bloom or is it like the intoxicating scent of an expensive spray of fragile feminine French perfume?

Is it like the pounding of a heart racing as if one had run a marathon in world record time or is it like a million tingling sensations covering the body from the tips of the toes to ends of the hair, never stopping?

Is it like the crescendo of a thousand violins playing in the largest world orchestra, ever or is it like the deafening sound of a million waterfalls?

Is it really all about feelings, sensations, scents and sounds?

Could it also be about acceptance in spite of all evident weaknesses and faults or could it be about a special appreciation of the other person that beats all understanding?

Could it be about a meeting of two souls and the joining of two spirits or could it be the mashing of two opposites complementing each other in unique ways?

Could it be about the connection of two hearts and two minds or could it be the deliberate blending of two completely different lives in spite of everything around them into one?

Could it simply be the laying down of one’s life for the other?

Could it be all this or could it really be this complicated?
