At first there was the exhilaration of the feeling in base the of her spine when he kissed her
That fast and crazy ride like getting high off that substance you never ingested but can’t get out of your system no matter how much you sleep, water you drink or how long you pray
It is the madness that keeps you from thinking about anything but him as if he is the sun and you are the planet that orbits around him, drawn to him by some magical force you can’t really explain or understand. It is that madness that makes the absolute chaos logical somehow
Or is it that chaos you can’t escape no matter how fast you run from it so you become so accustomed to it like everyday ordinary life but on ecstasy pills
So this lasted a few months
Then the ride always starts to slow
You start to see the cracks in that beautiful mystical creature your heart is now joined to
It wasn’t until she had seen all the different parts of him
The parts she accepted generously and the parts she didn’t like so much
She finally realized she loved him
For falling in love is always that feeling at the based of the spine but actually being in love is that feeling that travels up and surrounds your soul. It is that part that connects the deepest core of the soul to the centre of the heart
That is the sort of love that doesn’t take you on a rollercoaster ride. That is the sort of love that lingers unconditionally on a flat line in eternity
When she saw the darkness in him and didn’t cringe from it. When she saw the mundanity in the small moments with him and didn’t run from it
When all the adrenaline had rushed out of her system as fast as it had entered, but she stood steady unable to imagine a life without him
That was when she knew this was a love that was going to last forever
