L.O.V.E

[Warning to reader: If this starts to sound too mooshy...whatever lol. Then stop reading.]

I may seem like a hopeless-romantic but, what is love?
Does it mean having strong feelings for someone and just can't avoid that?
Or does it mean needing to have someone in your life...All the time?

What I have to say is, I'm not in love-atleast I don't think I am.
I have extremely strong feelings for someone and he gives me butterflies and makes me smile and is just insanely attractive.
But I know for a fact that I couldn't tell him I love him.
Maybe as time goes by...Of course, depending on if we're still together or not.

I do know that when I was "in love", in a recently past relationship, I didn't get butterflies or constantly smiling when he was around.

So my question still stands.
What is love?

How do you know you're in love?
What if the time you're in love, is the time that you couldn't say it to that person?

I'm not in denial or anything.
It just wouldn't seem right to tell him at the moment.
Of course, only time could tell.
So obviously not now.

I do know that whatever this feeling is...It's great.
It makes me happy and there's usually never a moment where a smile doesn't leave my face.
