Love is the tranquil glow that is somehow brighter than infatuation without causing all the burns. Love is about knowing one another through and through. About being able to say anything. About not feeling jealous when he goes out without you because you know that he'll come back. About always having a shoulder to cry on, and always being there when he needs to weep.
Love is something that's quiet and spectacular all at once.
It's not the huge emotional ride like infatuation, which, like a flashfire, comes and goes before you realize it. Instead, it's something sweet and strong and beautiful. You'll know when it reaches that state. The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the full light of day.
