How I even claim to not be a romantic I do not know...Response to a post on love

I cant tell you what love will be like for you. I agree that to fall in love, you have to love yourself for who you are first. Love is improved by knowing who you are and how this other person makes you better. Love is hard to find and usually found in unexpected places. Falling in love is reoccurring; when you truly love someone you fall in love with them over and over in a million different unimaginable ways. For me Love is everything. Its catching a lump in your throat just trying to explain it because its so powerful you cant breath. Its that feeling right before you jump, the uncertainty, excitement and letting go of any sort of control you have. Its counting to three before jumping but going on two because you know you will lose your nerve. Its running in a field of wild flowers, the smell of fresh cut grass. Its sparks when they touch you and flushed cheeks when they are watching you. It can be childish or old, intense or calm, liberating and pacifying. Its being best friends past the point when you can finish each others sentences and know what they are thinking. Its love like Hollywood says it is mixed with the most perfect parts of reality. It is "the all consuming, can’t live without someone, can't eat, can't sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, world series kind of stuff". Its sitting with someone at your worst and knowing that no matter how awful you are today, tomorrow they will be there and think nothing less of you. Its knowing who the first person you want to tell everything to is. When its right and true its rarely hard. Its easy like puzzle pieces made to fit and together to make their own unique picture. The world isn't always the easiest place to find happiness. I believe that's why its important to search and fight for love today. Its worth it.
