Those moments when you unknowingly give your heart to the one you love.
The feeling of butterflies in the very pit of your stomach when they ease into your mind.
The smile which graces upon the world, reaching your eyes when they are near.
The special glow you cast for all to see, which brightens with their gentle touch.
The warmth and protection you snuggle closer to in their arms.
The places you lay memories as you share every moment together.
The all out joy you give one another to make sure you are pleased evenly.
The nights you laugh at random things, just to see a smile.

To never feeling alone because one heart beats for the other.
The time when tears only fall when forever is placed on a finger.
The dreams you share, to bid a future that harness true love.
That is love.

The nights you spend in completely different rooms contemplating reasons.
The days watching TV on the floor as the other is on the bed browsing the computer.
The holidays spent away with family, wondering what the other is doing.

The heartbeat which once was strong, beating painfully slow each night.
The time tears fall for no reason through the days unknowingly.
The nightmares that plague you, until you become ill.
That is heartbreak
I fall in love without knowing that one day she will leave me back even without a word saying "I am leaving you behind". Now with me the only thing left is the sad and painful memories of my...
