And for the First Time I Know What Forever Love Feels like

“I love you. I loved you every day since I first met you. No matter what, that will never change." – Jacqueline Simon Gunn

I’ve never known much about what it feels to be in love. Yes,  I’ve seen it in movies and heard about it in songs. I think almost anyone can understand the concept of love at an intellectual level but I never got to experience it with every sense of my body, at least not until I met him. 

He walked into my life and it felt as if my heart was truly awake for the first time. It felt as if my world expanded – Like being able to see color for the first time. My heart felt truly open and ready to love and receive love.  

He ignited something in me that felt so pure and real and all I knew was that I wanted to experience it fully. I wanted to savour every moment with him  and I wanted to hold onto this feeling forever. 

Everything about him has a powerful effect on me. He can read my soul by just briefly looking at me. The way he tenderly kisses me leaves me breathless.The sound of his voice, his touch and the way he makes me feel like I’m the center of his world always leaves me stunned. Love with him is so new and intense, it’s everything and more than I could have ever expected. 

I never knew what it felt to physically love someone so much. We don’t spend that much time apart but when we do, I can feel his absence in my bones. It feels like hunger or thirst, it’s like I can’t go too long without being around him. So I’ve learned that love is emotional and physical, it’s explosive.  

It’s crazy how we ended up on each other’s path. We both came from not knowing much about ‘being in love’ but once we found in each other, we were ready and willing to explore that feeling regardless of the risk.  Because there’s always a risk of getting hurt when you give your heart to someone. 

We both needed a chance to take that leap of faith and we found it in each other and now that we’re in it, it truly feels like it can go on forever. In our hearts we know this is everlasting love. 

For the first time I feel that I know what love truly means, I feel it in the little things that we do for each other and in the moments that we share together. Every moment together is a gift, like when he makes me laugh over silly things, or when he falls asleep next to me. He feels like my only destination, he feels like home. I never expected to fall in love so quickly or for my heart to be so big to receive his infinite love.  

His love makes me a better person because love has the ability to expand your horizon and make you want to grow. I know that love is not perfect, I know it comes with ups and downs but now that I know what it feels like to be in love, those challenges don’t seem so uphill and if they do, I trust that true love will conquer all as long as we both fight for what we have. 

I’m grateful that he chose me and now I don’t care it took some time for me to find true love. He was worth the wait, forever love was worth the wait.
