attraction to someone. you feel good when you're around them, and you hope they feel the same way. you can feel yourself get happier whenever they enter the room. you would do anything and everything for them, and with them. someone you can be yourself around and not feel judged. someone you can see yourself having a whole lifetime, spending time together and finding happiness and peace with each other. platonic or romantic.
Sometimes the only reason to keep going.....
It's being able to be yourself around another person. Being able to sit with them and the act, mask, persona you've been showing the world just falls away. And it's not limited to romantic love with a significant other. It's a friend, sibling, parent, etc. It's freedom.
Love is that you can freely be yourself in the company of another and you are also that for that other. Love flows freely like a river and when the water hits the rocks you can talk or argue about it together and find the riverbed together. There's something casually effortless about it. When I met my husband, he felt familiar, friendly and lovable right away. I don't believe in love at first sight because I'm demisexual, so through rational thinking I understood him as my love after all.
