You kiss someone, and it's like the world around you gets all hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this other person and you know that one person is the person you're meant to be kissing the rest of your life.

You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they are gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spine. When they are the only thing you can think about. You know you are in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at 4 in the morning, say 'I love you' and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When they are hurt just because of those tears.

When they fulfill every need and without them, you are incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and soul and mind all at once."
