But what does it mean to be in love?

I'm in love! I really am. But, what does it mean to be in love? I wonder if anyone really knows. I feel as though different people will always have different explanations about this world wide disease. I think that being in love is when you continuously go every day thinking about the same person for at least 3 months, because any time before that could simply be a crush. You must actually know and talk to this person, celebrities don't count AT ALL. I find it very creepy when people are "in love" with celebrities. I feel like there cannot be love with out passion. I'm not saying you can't be in love if you don't have sex, but there has to be some sort of physical connection. You must be able to be yourself around this person. You must share secrets, cry in front of them, and occasionally get mad at them. A relationship cannot be real if neither of the people get mad every once in a while. The person must make you happy. You have to know and understand the little things about each other. And when things get rough, you must never choose to give up. I'm not sure why I choose these reasons to describe being in love, but somewhere along the path of my young life I picked them out. And that's how I know I'm in love.
