For one to say another has not known what true love is, well that's preposterous. In reality, there is no "true love" in the world. Love is different for everyone. Love is special and unique, like a human fingerprint, or the stripes of a tiger. They are all different and no two patterns are alike. People can have a love that burns their soul for the rest of their lives while others can have a comfortable love that is calm but passionate. Or they could have a love that needs to be fought for to keep alive. Or they could have a love that is forbidden and the timing is completely wrong, no matter how much the passion flows.

I cannot say I have much experience with love, but I know this much: I am in love. As much as some people may not want to hear this, I know its true. Frankly I've given up on what other people think about my choices and me. I made them for a reason. I made them, because that's who I am. I am not going to change for anyone. I know my love is hard, and it's not easy, but its worth it. To quote some famous person, "if its easy, then its not worth it." Or something like that. I want to fight for this love, and I think anyone who has the opportunity to chase someone they are in love with should not give up. It is a difficult journey, but the destination is not the important part.

Although I do not mention any particular person, they know who they are and that makes me happy. It makes me happy because I finally can admit to what we both already knew. Unfortunately, life is in the way of us being together, although I'm not too sure they would want to be with me. However, I cannot seem to push them out of my mind, not that I would want to of course, they are the definition of perfection. I know that they don't see this so maybe one day I can show how I see them. I also know that the person I am writing for doesn't truly understand what they mean to me and I sincerely wish I could help them to understand.

To wrap this up (I know its long), I think the true meaning of love to me, is that if someone else's happiness makes you happy, then you are in love. I've figured this out because when you watch a couple when one is happy, the other lights up just as much. Not because they are happy about whatever their person is happy about, but because they are happy that their partner is happy.
