love

When you can't count from one to five without thinking about them. When you're gazing at the stars with them and end up focusing on their arm around your shoulders as they point out the constellations. When you phone them asking to meet for coffee at 2am because you can't sleep, and they say yes. When hearing them say your name makes it sound like every other time it must have been spoken wrong. This is love. This is feeling safe with them. These are your deepest thoughts kept in their mind and held by their hearts. This is playful teasing and silly inside jokes. Love is knowing that with them, everything will finally be okay.

You know you're in love, or at least falling into it, when you begin writing the definition of the word in prose for Urban Dictionary.
