When You're In Love

Many people say they're in love
But most are only in love with an idea
Of what they wish would happen or what could be
They are in love with what they want things to be
They love what they want someone to be

But when you're in love, it can't be put simply
The idea that you love is your reality
What you wish to happen is happening
What you want to be is
When you love the person for being
And you still have great chemistry

When your in love, there are still insecurities
Every harsh word stings uncontrollably
When all you ever try to do is please
And still the words hurt more than normally

When your in love, your time spent apart seems like forever
Your entire mood alters at the flick of a wrist
And you can go one moment from sulking to smiling the next
The sight of your love makes it all seem ok
And when held by that person, your fears run away

When your in love, you've given someone your heart
You've let down your guard
They now control your every feeling and you are at their mercy
Because it is them you are constantly craving
But it's being in love that we were created for
And being in love is worth sacrificing for
