Love is just more than a single feeling.
It's more like a series of feelings that you link to this person
that build and combine to give you a sense of feeling connected.

You feel that this person feels familiar to you,
you feel you know her,
but it's even more than that,
because you find yourself wanting to know her,
to know everything you can learn about this person,
and you want her to know you,
to feel familiar to her,
to be a part of her life,
you are willing to give yourself to her
in order to secure and strengthen the connection you feel.

Because this person feels this way to you,
she begins to become important to you,
you feel you need to be with her,
to have her in your life,
that you need to make her a part of your life.

If you had a choice between
having an intimate encounter with someone on line
or feeling the touch of someone in person,
where you can sense the passion and desire that this person has for you
as she kisses and caresses you which would you prefer?

To have someone pretend that they want to know you or to know,
really know that this person really wants to be with you
because she is with you now,
because you can feel her touch,
you can feel the intensity of every touch of her lips
as she explores your needs and desires.

When you were little,
maybe you used to dream of the person you were going to be with
and you imagined her to be a certain way.

What if you were to meet that person?
What if you had just realized that you already know this person,
that this person was already a part of your life
and you were letting her slip away?
What has to happen for you to realize,
really realize that you're in love with this person?
What would it be like if this person were to decide you weren't interested?

As you imagine this,
think about how this other person must feel.

The more you think about this,
the more you begin to understand that you are in love with her.
And the more you realize that you are in love with her,
the more you find yourself thinking about her.
To the point where you find you must contact this person
and tell her how you feel.
You convince yourself that you need to hear her voice,
and won't you be surprised when you find yourself trying to contact her...
whether she is next door on the other side of the planet.

This is what it means to be in love.

But you will never know until you've experienced it first hand.
There have probably been many false starts in your life up 'till now.
If there is someone you're thinking about, well,
do not wait another moment to contact your special someone,
because it could be the last chance you have.
