"From your experience, how do you know when you're in love?

I think you feel it in every ounce of your body. There are no more judgments, no more walls, nothing to fall back on; you are at the utmost level of vulnerability. You encounter a sense of fear that you didn’t think possible; one that feels so unfamiliar and bone-chilling that you wish would end. The fear, however, comes from knowing that you are now willing to give your all to someone. They have your soul and your heart resting in their hands and they can do what they please. The strange this is, as frightened as you may be, it doesn’t hold you back. You stop thinking about the future because the only thought you can possibly muster is the idea of being with that person and nothing else in the world matters. You allow them to crawl underneath your skin and into every space of your body… and you don’t even care."
