whats it like to fall in love?

i wonder if you get those butterflies in your stomach? or when you talk to them you start smiling for no reason? or your tongue gets twisted because your so nervous to even talk to them.

I've actually never fallen in love. All the girls in college seem to find an interest in me but i would like to fall in love for that girl that makes me smile for no reason and gives me butterflies in my stomach.

A lot of times I have theories. I thought to myself:

"what if when we fall asleep we're actually dying for a few hours and our souls at night unlatch to our bodies and explore with our loved ones the other dimensions."

but its only just a thought anyways. All my relatives are currently living in France. I decided to move here since there wasn't really much any other opportunities there for me and nothing there seemed to find an interest to myself.

I went to use one of the subway cars New York is such a beautiful place. I love walking much more than taking a car its nice to be just outside and —

"oh my god im sorry i wasn't thinking strait."

this absolutely beautiful girl said to me.

"its alright."

i smiled.

"no, i spilled my tea all over your shirt."

she said pointing to my chest. her hands were so small. and her features were so utterly beautiful that i never even noticed that she spilled her tea on me.

its currently really cold in New York right now. and all you may see is her cheeks turning into a bright rose.

so is this what its like to have fallen in love?
