Describing the feeling of being in love

Describing the feeling of being in love is at least easier than describing than what love is. But just like no two loves are similar, neither can be the feeling of being in love. Here's my attempt at a ahem, creatively written description:

For some, it grows and ebbs like the tide ; while for others it comes in like a storm, leaving only destruction in the wake. It could warm you in its embrace or burn you with its bitterness.
For some, it is when they lie next to someone and brush the hair falling on their lover's face, they come to the realization that they are in that moment, smitten.



For someone else, it is weakness and vulnerability and telling what couldn't be told. 

It could be a knock on your door, a speeding of your heart, a desire to give all. 

It could be feeling vulnerable, feeling naked, actually being naked. 

It could be like a song on repeat or a shuffling till you get what you ever want.

It could be scary-exciting like a thunderstorm or sticky and overbearing like the feeling after a humid rain shower.

It is holding on, when all has been lost. 

Falling in love is sneaky. Suddenly, you have what the whole world wants. 


It is like having the world in your arms and still feeling that you never have everything you want.

It is when you say someone's name,you have power. And when they say your name, your name has never been said like that.

It is to dream and want and be restless and craving and anxious and to check your phone all too often and get angry that the world around you is the way it wasn't anymore.

It's tough to sleep because you are thinking. It's tough to work, because even if you are not with your lover, your being constantly embraces the desire for togetherness.

Falling in love is a 1000 secret sensations, none wise, that drive you wild.

It is foolish optimism and dangerous over confidence. 

That is what the feeling of being love is. It's the highest high.
